Recipe Note
HOT TIPS FOR YOUNG PLAYERS
1. Vinegar: To reduce the intensity of the vinegar flavor, allow it to simmer uncovered and without stirring for several minutes after adding it the pan. This will help cook off some of the vinegar's strength.
2. Smoking: If you want to stick to the OG method just skip smoking the belly.
