@FrankAiken Since fatback is somewhat similar to bacon, you may be able to cure it like bacon. Fatback usually does not have any meat with it at all. I never cured fatback or just the hocks but I suggest trying it. At least if nothing else to get some seasoning to it. Most use pieces of fatback or hocks to season cooked greens and beans.
can this process be done with white meats as well? chicken and turkey and that sort of thing?

I have a question, I asked for fatback and hocks this time around. What the heck do I do with them?
