    To explain,

    it may not have been fully cured, due to the fatty nature of bone marrow. I used Instacure #1 for 3 days. The marrow portion is less than an inch thick so take that for what you will.

    The flavor of the pinker parts was pretty similar to a sea-salt brine. which was pretty expected. But I didn’t feel like going for too long on the first try. Marrow bones are cheap.

    But the unexpected part was how the Instacure-brined marrow bones lost half of it’s marrow, while the sea-salt brine seemed unaffected by cooking.

    Nothing amazing. But may as well share.

    I always wondered if you could make something like lardo out of bone marrow! So cool to see someone giving it a go
