Fried Bacon

Ingredients

• Bacon
• Cold water

Directions

1. Scrape and trim the bacon, then wash it well.

2. Soak the bacon in plenty of cold water for 2 hours, changing the water once or twice. If very salty, soak overnight.

3. Wash the bacon in fresh cold water and place it in a pot with enough cold water to cover it.

4. Cover the pot and bring it to a slow boil, then boil steadily until tender, removing scum as it rises.

5. Turn the bacon several times while boiling and replenish with boiling water as needed.

6. When easily pierced with a fork, drain the bacon, remove the skin, and serve.
