I remember my mother used to make something similar back when we were kids, because those were tough times, we only had a small fridge and this was a way to store pork, that my grandparents grew each year. Yours looks amazing.

If I'm here, I'd like to ask you something. I see a lot of recipes have Kosher salt. I know what Kosher means, but are most of the people using it for religious reasons? Or it has become a habit? I'm just curious.
