Canning with a dry heat method

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have gotten some messages asking about canning of bacon grease, so i thought i would put it on a topic.  This is the same for lard.

Clean your jars well (i wash with soap water and a bit of bleach)
Put clean jars into a 250 oven for 20 mins
Heat lids as normal

Fry the bacon and heat the grease til the water is out of the grease...it becomes clear.  Do not get to the "smoking" stage.
A pound of bacon will do about 1/2 pint

Pour the hot grease into the hot jar 
Fill the jar to about 1/4 inch of the top
Put on the heated lids

Check for the seal  and store in a cool dark place
