Bacon, Boieeb

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash the bacon in cold water.

  2. Scrape and trim off any rusty or brownish spots.

  3. If very hard or dry, soak in cold water for a few hours.

  4. Place the bacon in a pot and cover it with cold water.

  5. Bring the water to a slow boil and then boil steadily until done.

  6. Replenish the water with boiling water as it evaporates.

  7. When the bacon can be easily pierced with a fork in the thickest part, it is done.

  8. Save the fat for frying and leave enough in the water to season greens if cooking them.
