WITH THIS FAT
AND THAT

BY Hannah Wing

~ AEON for breakfast means,
K Of course, an accumulation
~ of bacon fat that sooner or
later becomes a problem. Fat
from scraps of meat from the
weekly roasts, from the Sunday
chicken and that skinned down
from the soup kettle add to the
question: How can these fats be
used?
The melted fats are best COM
bined and made into a savory tat
for seasoning vegetables, frying
potatoes or fish and for deep fat
frying Of meat croquettes.
To make the fat ready for use,
melt it in the top Of a double
boiler and for a pound Of the
accumulated fat add sour apple,
an onion and a teaspoon each
of ground thyme or mixed herbs,
chopped parsley and few celery
leaves tied together in a small
cheesecloth bag. Cook until the
apple and onion are tender and
then strain through two thick
nesses of cheesecloth.
Scraps Of fat, trimmings and
hard fats like mutton or beef
suet need to be tried out and
clarified to get pure fat. The
harder fats will be softened by
combining with the softer fats
such as chicken or pork. If
there is too large proportion
Of hard fats, some cooking oil
may be added to make the fat Of
the right consistency.
The whole fats cut from the
meat should be run through a
meat grinder. To each pound Of
fat add one-half cup of milk,
sweet, sour or butter-milk, and
place in the top of a double
boiler. Heat until the fat is
melted. Strain, cool and skim
off the fat. The milk improves
the flavor Of the fat and the use
Of the double boiler makes sure
that the fat is not over heated or
scorched or acrid in flavor.
The "cracklings" left when the
fat is removed from the mem
branes in which it is encased may
be ground and used in cornmeal
or graham flour breads. in baked
hash or with hashed. brown pota-
toes.
To clarity tried out fats or that
used for deep fat frying, mix the
fat with boiling water and heat
thoroughly and chill. Remove
the fat and scrape off impurities
from the bottom Of the caked fat.
