Renegade Greaves Lard

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 1 kg bacon (green bacon)
• 1 kg of flab (pork belly fat)
• 2 m.-sized apples
• 2 ½ tbsp, heaped salt
• 2 tbsp, heaped marjoram, dried
• 2 tbsp parsley, dried
• 1 tbsp, heaped pepper, ground
• 1 pack of fried onions (150 g)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours

Freeze the green bacon and the flaked bacon. When everything is thoroughly frozen, mince it through a 5 mm disc. Then transfer everything to a saucepan and cook over medium heat. This gives you enough time to finely grate the apples and mix the spices. When everything is nice and liquid, I add the grated apple and the spices. Don’t forget to stir occasionally. Once the cracklings have turned a nice brown color, the lard is ready to be bottled. You can now transfer it to jars or lard pots. When the lard is almost solid, I divide the fried onions one by one between the jars and stir everything again.
