Clarified Bacon Grease

Ingredients

• 1 cup Bacon fat (rendered from cooked bacon, slightly cooled)
• 1 cup Water (enough to fill the remainder of the jar)

Steps

1. 1

   After cooking bacon, allow the rendered fat in the pan to cool down slightly so it is safe to handle but still liquid.

2. 2

   Pour the liquid bacon fat into a glass jar.

3. 3

   Fill the remainder of the jar with water.

4. 4

   Secure the lid on the jar tightly and shake vigorously to combine the fat and water.

5. 5

   Place the jar in the refrigerator upside down and let it sit overnight.

6. 6

   The next morning, the fat will have solidified at the top (which was the bottom while upside down). Carefully open the jar over a sink to pour out the water containing the sediment and bacon bits.

7. 7

   Remove the clean, solidified disc of bacon fat to use for cooking.

Notes

Be careful not to pour the greasy water down the drain to avoid plumbing issues; strain the bits out or dispose of the water outdoors/in the trash if possible. Clarified fat lasts longer in the fridge than fat containing meat particles.
