Gruiben (Cracklings)
- 2 1/2 kg bacon pork
- 18 litre milk or water
- Cut the bacon into 3/4 inch cubes and put into a tall pot which must not get filled more than halfway up (to prevent the large amount of foam during the rendering process from running over and spilling).
- Heat up slowly, else the bacon will stick to the bottom and scorch.
- As soon as there is a little liquid fat covering the bottom of the pot, add milk or water, and heat up more, constantly stirring.
- Let the cracklings brown a little bit more, then pour off the liquid lard, through a sieve, into an earthenware pot.
- Warm cracklings are very popular in-between meal.
