Nitrites keep the pink color and helps to prevent disease in food borne illnesses; however, you can use non nitrite cure but it won't be as pink, more an off color brown. You might have to use kosher salt but I'd really look carefully because I don't know how to do that.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-18694051251239777102012-01-30T16:41:57.040-06:002012-01-30T16:41:57.040-06:00LOVE bacon!!
