Craving bacon? Pork belly preserves satisfy

If the doomsayers about next year’s bacon supply have the pork lovers among you worried, there’s a quick way to get your bacon fix: Curbside Burgers’ pork belly preserves. The cooks at Curbside make this from scratch by taking pork belly—the most common cut of bacon—seasoning it just right with shallots, garlic and spices, and rendering it down for five hours until it turns into a meat preserve. The process isn’t unlike that of making fruit jelly or jam, but if the words “bacon jelly” make you cringe, don’t judge until you’ve tried some. Curbside serves this salty spread on several of their burgers—most notably the Brian burger—but if you ask, they’ll spread it on anything. Or you could skip the middleman and just buy a jar for yourself to spread on anything you like. Track them down by following them on Twitter or Facebook.
