Clarified Dripping

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove impurities from the dripping with a knife.

  2. Add fresh water and more coarse sea salt to the dripping in a pot.

  3. Boil the dripping for a second time, then let it cool and remove impurities again.

  4. Taste the dripping; if it has any flavor, boil it a third time. If it is sweet, the third boiling is unnecessary.

  5. Place the dripping in a jar and set the jar in a saucepan of boiling water until melted.

  6. Let it cool again before using.
