"Some make jars of compote, others make jars of lard! To be honest, lard is one of our favorite compotes!"

Ingredients

  • bacon - up to 1 1/4″ (3 cm) thick, from a small pig (can use the skin), no matter the quantity
  • for the marinade option 1
  • water - 1.5 gal (6 liters)
  • sea salt - 4.5 lb (2 kg)

measures

How to make

Cut the bacon into 2 1/2″ (6 cm) wide pieces and length according to the height of the jar, but not more than 4 1/4″ (11 cm). Pour in water and soak it well for 2-3 days.

To facilitate the process, you can use the basket from a deep fryer and place the pre-cut pieces of bacon in it. Make the marinade according to the first or second option. Let it come to a boil and let the salt dissolve in a suitable container for parboiling of the bacon.

Dip the basket with the bacon in the boiling marinade, which will cool it down, but will then boil again. Remove after 1 minute, but not before. Repeat until you have soaked all the bacon.

Pack the bacon tightly in the jars and if you like you can put some bay leaf, 1 clove of garlic, 2-3 grains of black pepper, etc in each jar.

Pour the marinade into the jars once cooled. Seal the jars. After about 20-25 days, it will be ready for consumption. Bon appetit and cheers!
