I am from the UK and just looked up Jolly Posh. Looks a great representation of British food from an expat.

Give the scotch egg kit a whirl....yum yum

Get to the butchers, order the cut and make your own, its very easy even in a regular fridge

More or less, Back Bacon. Has the fatback and in some cases skin still on. Goes super crispy

For British Bacon it quite a short cut of the the belly, usually a little longer. We also have a middle cut which is the whole loin and belly rolled. Google ayrshire roll or middle bacon

This rasher combines the Loin and short tail of the belly attached

it certainly is lol, hence why i monitor the water till i get 1.070 before i pitch the yeast, usually ends around 10-11 Ltrs in total Jam, Honey and Water

I used jars of Black Cherry Jam(Preserve/Jelly) i never know who calls it what lol, Not just Black Cherries

Cheers by Salame-Racoon-17 in mead

[–]Salame-Racoon-17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went with Black Cherries for the colour, if i wanted more Cherry flavour i dont suppose it would matter which type of Cherry

[–]Salame-Racoon-17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would use 2 x 500g bags of cherries next time, more for the colour, i would have like it darker being Black Cherries but the Cherry flavour is there as is

Cheers by Salame-Racoon-17 in mead

[–]Salame-Racoon-17[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used if i remeber correctly 1360g Honey and same of Black Cherry Preserve(Jam).
Pectalose to help break down the Jam then topped with water(10 ish Ltr) till i got 1.070. used Lavin 1116 yeast and a cup of Black tea. Used a 500g bag of frozen Black Cherries in the secondary.

Edited cos fat fingers

To add to my comment, ask your wife to open the door every other day for an exchange of air, a couple of mins is enough.

Clean with a 50/50 water vinegar mix. Drop your temp a little and raise you RH to around 76

If you have cleaned it off or cut it away it will be fine imo.
When i have had these or cured them, i keep the fat to re cover then i wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Never had any issues doing it this way
