My first effort <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tiddly-pom/sets/72157601779090399/" REL="nofollow">looked fabulous</A> but came out a bit on the salty side. After soaking in water it tastes pretty good though and is fabulous in bacon & egg sandwiches.<BR/><BR/>I like the manuka honey idea, and also the idea of smoking slowly in a BBQ, I used a fish smoker and it got the meat up to temp in only about 45 minutes, it did still give a nice flavour though (using oak sawdust).<BR/><BR/>And I completely agree about the zip slide bags, they suck.<BR/><BR/>Julian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
