Lard with cracklings, onion and apple

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 400 g bacon (pork back bacon) without meat, minced
• 1,200 g bacon (pork belly bacon without meat), minced
• 2 medium-sized onions, peeled
• 2 apples, with peel, without core
• 2 tsp marjoram, dried
• 1 tsp, leveled chili flakes
• 2 tsp, leveled salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 35 minutes

Pour the fat into a saucepan and add the two onions and apples. Slowly melt over low heat. After about 30 minutes, add the marjoram, chili flakes, and salt. After about 40 minutes, remove the onions and apples. Pour the liquid fat through a sieve into a bowl. Let the cracklings that remain brown slightly in the pan again. When the liquid fat begins to solidify, whisk well with a mixer. This will make the lard nice and creamy. Finally, add the cracklings so they don’t sink to the bottom. Pour into jars and store in a cool place. If you need to use the lard quickly, you can also chop the onions and apples quite finely, add them, and stir them in.
