Thanks for this bit of advice Ray-it worked marvelously!  I bought uncured
bacon ends (1.99/lb instead of 4.99/lb) and they were too sugary-this fixed
them right up.
BTW has anyone ever had bacon from Applegate farms?  We had it once, and if
I remember correctly, it was uncured and used maple sugar and was delicious.
I can't find it again now and wondered if anyone knows a source.
