Quick Salt Pork image

After a (relatively) quick salt-and-sugar cure, these bits of porky goodness will keep for months in the freezer, ready to add meaty flavor to all kinds of dishes. This is a great way to use up scraps (especially fatty scraps) from prepping legs, hocks, necks, shoulders or bellies. Recipe by Chichi Wang at Serious Eats. http://bit.ly/auhMhP
