Had a major hankerin' for Deep Fried Tater Salad (this happens often, I'd eat the stuff every day if I could), so started cutting stuff Fri. nite & went to frying Sat.............
Stubby's working just fine since the re-wiring job......
Also had enough bacon to add in a goodly amount to the tater salad and make up some BACON JAM.......here's where I got the recipe:
http://www.thesmokering.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=60940&highlight=jam+baconMost of this stuff made the final cut:
I will put up a detail in "Recipes" later.....this stuff is worth the effort !!!!
Par fried 1-1/2# bacon in Stubby, plus a small bit to start sweating the onion & garlic......set up like this:
After that's started, needed to add in the coffee, maple syrup, cider vin. & powders, so went to the stove for a breif boil, rather than firing another kettle......wasn't quite time for MORE HIGH HEAT grilling just yet.............
Then cooked down @ 200f for about 3-1/4 hours......should have taken it off sooner, as the rendering was done & it tightened back up a bit......fixed it by chopping it finer & adding back in a very small amount of liquid................
Not ever have I had sweet & savory compete in such a wonderful way !!!!!
Next, did some quarters & bumped the heat up & tried MiniGrillin's freezer/cornstarch method for getting a "Crusty the Clown" sear on some steaks......worked out grate, paid very little attention to the thermometers that were laying around..................
& the wife's was perfect:
Hope you're all having a grate weekend !!!!!
