Gruiben (Cracklings)

1. 1

   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).

2. 2

   Heat up slowly, else the bacon will stick to the bottom and scorch.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   Let the cracklings brown a little bit more, then pour off the liquid lard, through a sieve, into an earthenware pot.

5. 5

   Warm cracklings are very popular in-between meal.
