Birds clean it right up.

Ahhh yes ... I forgot ..... suet, right?

[mad_as_he$$]

Suet is typically beef. around here when it is cold the birds really clean the bacon grease up. Have to put it where the dogs and cats can't get it. My Mother (who a bird officiando) tells me the calories are good for them and saves many that might not make it all winter.

The world is slowly waking up to the fact that bacon is the perfect food. It’s about time.

Candied Bacon

1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 pound thick-cut pork bacon

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, slowly cook bacon until bacon is lightly browned on edges but still flexible, turning over once, approximately 5 to 6 minutes total per batch (you’ll probably have to do this in batches); drain the fat each time. Remove cooked bacon from the frying pan and place onto paper towels to soak up excess fat.

After draining fat from the frying pan for the last time, reduce heat to low and put all the bacon back into frying pan. Drizzle brown sugar and mustard mixture over bacon, tossing with a fork to coat. NOTE: Sugar melts very slowly and burns easily; reduce heat if necessary after sugar begins to caramelize. Remove from heat and transfer onto a serving platter.

NOTE: If the bacon slices touch each other on the serving platter, they will stick together.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Right, and the next time I make bacon-wrapped shrimp you are
NOT invited because I wound up getting NONE!!! ;-)

[dfwgator]

Ooops, wrong bacon.

[humblegunner]

Bacon is proof that God wants us to be happy.

You weren't quick enough.

You'd better make it again before I come home, because if I'm there, it will probably disappear rather rapidly.

:-P

[humblegunner]

You weren't quick enough.

I was COOKING!!!

[Allegra]

I was COOKING!!!

And....?

[humblegunner]

My bad, never mind.

My job is to put together and grill the brochettes.

Anything additional to that is just a bonus.

Stupid of me.

[Allegra]

My job is to put together and grill the brochettes.

I thought my job was to eat.

And besides, your mom helped. It's not like I scarfed 'em all on my own.

Dude, they had bacon on them.

[humblegunner]

And besides, your mom helped. It's not like I scarfed 'em all on my own.

Yeah, whatever.. blame it on an old lady! ;-)

We'll have to bust out with a double dose next time.

So that I might get to eat some too!
