Directions

  1. This recipe will serve 4-6 persons.
  2. Take the bacon and cut into ΒΌ inch pieces ,saute until crisp and most of the fat has been rendered.
  3. Remove the bacon to a paper towel to drain, and reserve the bacon fat and estimate how many Tablespoons bacon fat you have. You will need approximately 3 times as much vinegar in total as fat.
