Thank you for the bacon grease info. My Mom always kept it on the stove, we all lived, but l prefer to refrigerate. Love your recipes.
Thanks, Sherry!
My Granny and my Mom kept it on the stove top and I reckon it was a generational thing, The bacon grease was used pretty nearly every day and as Sherry commented “we all lived.” I agree though, the refrigerator seems the right thing to do.

I’ve always saved bacon grease and can’t imagine life without it. I have a question though. I never strain it and like the bits of bacon in it. Is there a particular reason you strain it??
It’s not necessary, I just find that having bits of bacon in some other things that I use bacon grease for isn’t as appetizing. I’m told leaving the bit in there can make it go rancid sooner, but I’m not sure about that.
