What is the best way to store bacon grease and how long can you keep it for?? Right now I have about a cups worth in and screw top jar in the fridge.....should I freeze it?
TIA!!
TIA!!
Hey Dee.... I have a container that I store in the fridge butter keeper section. I'm sure you could freeze it if you don't use it very often. Bacon grease around here is pretty much a food staple, you can imagine our cholesterol readings!!!
...Next time I'm going to store it in the fridge and when it's nice and congealed, spoon it onto wax paper to freeze it. Like I do with tomato paste. Then I can grab as many globs as I think I'll need.
We keep ours in a coffee can in the fridge. I forget to use it though ...
My grandmother makes a cake using it - strangely comforting flavor. I'll see if I can get it if anyone is interested.
