Canning Bacon in a 16 Quart Presto for Tasty Recipes

Canning bacon is a simple and easy process. How many of you still save your bacon grease for frying? Tastes good right? Fat is still a fairly controversial nutrition topic, but evidence is showing that fat is not the enemy. Animal fat in moderation is healthy fat, and food like eggs and bacon can provide slow burn energy for a long and busy day. Canning bacon is a great idea. The jars will stay good a long time and you can use the bacon and grease in all kind of recipes and sauces to really add richness and flavor. I put a little in my homemade spaghetti sauce to give it that extra comfort food accent.
