<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">My first batch was surprisingly good so I expect only improvements from now on.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Saw a four pound pack of bacon bits and pieces for $7 and decided to experiment.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Took scissors and cut meat from fat and separated.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Spread meat pieces out flat in biggest cookie sheet and baked at 350 till most of the liquid fat was out and poured fat off. Took two sheets.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Put in bowl with marinade while still hot and let stand overnight.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Put back in oven at 350 again spread flat and baked till they looked and felt like Jerky</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Took fat pieces and fried till crisp and drained well and stored them for latter use in scrambled eggs, omlettes, salads etc..</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Saved all the fat for later for biscuits, smoked potatoes, frying eggs, fried potatoes, pork chops etc..</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">No waste. Still had almost four pounds of product.
