<li>Assemble curing mixture and apply at a rate of
     10 lb. per 100 pounds of pork bellies either by hand rubbing or using a
     vacuum tumbler.
	</li>	
<li>Stack bellies lean to lean side and fat to fat
     side in a nonreactive container.
	</li>	
<li>Refrigerate for 5 days and then overhaul by
     restacking the bellies that were on the top to be on the bottom. 
	</li>	
<li>Remove any liquid that has accumulated and
     refrigerate for another 5 days.
	</li>	
<li>At this point the bellies should be very firm
     to the touch.  If they are not, then
     overhaul again and refrigerate another 3-5 days.
	</li>	
<li>Wash bellies to remove all of the dry rub cure
     and then apply a light coating of black pepper to the lean side.

     side in a nonreactive container.

	</li>	
<li>Remove any liquid that has accumulated and
     refrigerate for another 5 days.
	</li>	
<li>At this point the bellies should be very firm
     to the touch.  If they are not, then
     overhaul again and refrigerate another 3-5 days.
