Smoked Pork Belly Popsicles are the perfect combination of smoky, savory, and sweet flavors. This dish is made by cutting pork belly into 6x1x1 inch strips, smoking them until they are tender and flavorful, and then brushing them in a sweet and tangy sauce before grilling them to caramelize the sauce. The result is juicy and tender meat on a stick with a crispy exterior and a mouthwatering flavor that is sure to impress.

These can be served at family gatherings, gameday watching parties, tailgates or made ahead then reheated at the company potluck! With this you can show Jim you are the best meat smoker in the office!
