The biggest challenge that I experienced when attempting my first cured bacon was deciding on the amount of salt to use. You want enough salt for bacon to cure properly and be safe to eat. But you also don't want it to be overly salty. After trying a dozen of recipes from trusted sources I settled on Hector Kent's formula from his Dry-Curing Pork: Make Your Own Salami, Pancetta, Coppa, Prosciutto, and More book. It uses 2.5% salt, which is a very reasonable amount. On top, it adds 2% maple syrup which adds the sweetness that makes the bacon taste even less salty. Overall, I found these proportions very good for my taste, except that I bumped the maple syrup to 2.5%. I think many will find the combination of salt and maple syrup very tasty. Actually, after some additional testing, I found that doubling the amount of maple syrup makes even tastier bacon.
