Bacon has grown in popularity.  It is not just for breakfast anymore.  Bacon is used in both sweet and savory applications, below is a photo of bacon going into a batch of chocolate chip cookies!

Bacon comes from our friend the pig.  It is a fatty meat from the belly and sides of the pig.  Most bacon goes through a salting or curing process, as well as a smoking process. In my opinion, bacon is delicious and we love farm fresh bacon.  You will notice a significant difference between fresh local bacon and the bacon packaged in a grocery store.  Bacon has a high fat to meat ratio, it is essential for the flavor we all know and love.  Save that bacon fat!
