From time to time I have bacon drippings as an ingredient in my recipes. Sometimes I get asked where do I get bacon drippings from. So I made this recipe.
Pork bacon can be made from a few parts of the pig, hog, or wild boar. It can be made from hog jawls, collar bacon, side bacon, back bacon, cottage bacon which is made from the boneless pork shoulder, or pork belly. It can be smoked or not smoked but, salted instead.
Bacon in some form or another is widely used all over the world.

Ingredients

  1. 2-1/2 poundhog jawls sometimes called hog mawls

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the piece(s). Remove the skin. Put the skin into a skillet or pan preferably with a side designed to pour out. Put the fat side down. Render the fat then remove skin set aside or discard. You can cut into strips and use for fishing with.

  2. 2

    Slice the jawls into strips. Add the strips to the pan at medium heat. I have super burners on the stove you don't want to burn it because you will use it later to cook with. As it renders turn so it renders well.

  3. 3

    Sometimes the pieces will start to curl up. If so cut it at the center of the bend upwards. This will allow both pieces to lay flat and render the drippings evenly. Set the cooked pieces aside can be frozen for another day if necessary.

  4. 4

    After each batch being rendered add the drippings to a sterilized jar. After the last batch use some of the bacon to scrape the bottom of pan to get some of the bits and pieces off the bottom. Add to the jar. Seal allow to cool and store in your pantry use as needed. I hope this helps, and I hope you enjoy!!!!
