Ingredient: Bacon
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!
