Wow, that looks so good. I think my cast iron skillet is a 15-incher, so a might have to double to recipe. Darn

Was going to copy over the recipe, but figured I’d just send the link:

In that recipe I didn’t preheat the skillet, I do today. And, I use 1/3 cup bacon grease instead of the 1/4 listed. So perfect.

I just add the hot grease on top after letting it cool for a couple of minutes. Use something sturdy like a Mason jar and you’ll be fine. Every so often I’ll put the jar in a warm water bath to melt it all and let the crunchy bits settle to the bottom.

Okay question – do you add hot bacon grease directly to a cold glass jar with cold bacon grease in it or do you let it come to temperature?

My husband makes bacon a lot but we find it inconvenient to take the jar out and let it come to temperature first. My instincts tell me that the jar is liable to explode if we put hot bacon grease into it when cold but maybe you have experience otherwise…

I’d love the cornbread recipe if you’d like to share!

1/3 cup to the cornbread! Don’t forget the cornbread. I don’t use flour or sugar in my recipe, gluten-free.

We have a “bacon fat” jar in our fridge too. Gratuitous food has a place in every diet in moderation, right;)
