I was wondering if anyone stores bacon grease and how long does it keep? in fridge or out? I'm thinking my very picky 7 year will eat just about any meat with some of that on it.

WE have canned some and used it after 2yrs. it was still good,but I don't have any to try that is older than 2yrs. We use some of our old stuff to see if they are still good and so far it's all still like when we canned it. I think canning is the best way to preserve almost anything. We also have alot dehydrated and vaccum sealed. I found a video on canning butter that I will try. Let you know how it turns out. I think the pressure canner is the best thing since homemade soap. We in the south use alot of bacon grease and hog lard for cooking. There is nothing better that an egg and french fries cooked in hog lard. Notice I said FRENCH fries. It's all in being CAJUN and our french ancesters. We look at as there are only 2 kinds of people in this world, CAJUNS and others that wish they were CAJUNS. LOLI was just curious if there was a way to can it or store it for later uses

lol well with a nut allergy I keep to the basics...I think the fear of eating something that might kill her limits her ability to think outside the box with food. We are working on that. I'm probably the pickiest one and if I have to eat an armadillo...I'm gonna need bacon grease!Due to it being such an unhealthy food, we seldom buy bacon. But when we do and I save the grease, I only keep it for a week at just above freezing temps. Kids are only "picky" when allowed to be picky.

I don't mean to pop your bubble, but my great grandfather's on both sides lived to be 92 and 91. My grandfather and dad lived to be 94 and 90. They eat bacon and cooked with hog lard all thier lives and were very healthy when they died. I had a complete checkup with my heart Dr. three weeks ago and everything was fine. But I hardly ever stop. Im constantly doing something. My wife says I should take more time to rest. I told her I will get all the rest I need when Im dead. Also, if I stop, nothing gets done. I thank you for thinking about my health. Most people don't think about others health. It was nice of you to give me the advice. I look at it this way, we all have to die at some time, at least I will go happy with a full belly.When done properly it is. I've canned, both pressure and water bath for many years. I go by the Ball Book and if I have any questions I call our Ag Agent. Canning is something you can't take any chances with.
Even southerners (I now live in TN and spend winters in FL) are getting away from bacon, bacon grease and lard. Have you had your cholesterol levels checked yet? I know I get preachy but having worked in the medical field, I saw what happens when people eat the wrong foods and believe me, fried foods, salty foods, bacon grease and hog lard are the "wrong" foods. Sorry, but I just hate to think what those foods are doing to your body and health.

Our ancestors have use bacon grease and fats for years now. . . And mine lived into their 80's and 90's. I came frome a long line of farmers. I think that the "added extras" in todays world is what makes people die at a younger age. We don't need the extra preservatives, colorings, ect.
