I've Died And Gone To Bacon Heaven!!! Baconnaise

[zwiller]

Looks and sounds fantastic Inda!!! I thinking a jar of that would take thanksgiving leftovers to the next level.

Point for sure

That's crazy... That's EXACTLY what I was thinking!

Imagine turkey salad sandwich....but use baconnaise!

Made another batch of baconnaise yesterday.

The first batch is GONE! LOL!!! I'll be bringing this batch to the fishing camp next weekend for the annual Cajun/Kansas fishing trip to use on sandwiches and some fresh walleye po-boys! This batch has incredible flavor!!! Cook that bacon on low so as not to scorch the drippings.

I made this batch exactly like the last one, only this time the lemon was cold from the refrigerator. Note to self....heat the bacon fat a little hotter if the lemon is cold, or put the lemon in the warm water with the eggs to warm. I did not get a good emulsion. Had to boil some water, add 2 tsps. to a new container and start again by drizzling the broken mayo into the hot water with the immersion blender going. That worked. Soft and nice and creamy!!

So I'm curious if anyone has given this a go yet?

I, missed this one in the beginning, now I'm on board following. POINTS!!
Definitely on the to do list soon! My wife would make us a soggy salad from time to time. Fresh lettuce tomatoes and onions, wilt it with hot bacon grease, maybe a dash of pepper.

I haven't. I have looked around for the mass produced stuff, but no luck. Next thought was to bake some bacon til it gets super crumbly the way the wife likes it,( just this side of burnt) run that thru the blender and mix the dust into some store bought mayo. Hasn't happened yet either.
I got side tracked trying to make a sourdough starter and reading whatever I can about the process.
I'm a one project at a time kind of guy especially when I'm out of my depth.

My wife doesn'y like my eating habits as it is, if i made a batch of this she'd snap. Happy wife is a happy life .LOL

This is on my to do list still. Haven't had enough bacon grease to do it. Plan on cooking bacon a few times the balance of the year for BLT's before my fresh tomatoes are gone.

Wow what a plan and here comes more body pounds
Geez

Somehow I missed this in the early summer. I love bacon grease, esp for hash browns, but the missus prefers the clean stuff. The chunky stuff needs a purpose like this. But I don't have the energy to make mayo from eggs and not sure how to get it blended into store-bought mayo?

 

[noboundaries]

Somehow missed this too. I've been wanting to make some mayo recently and this has my brain juices flowing.

I don't think I've ever had 2 cups of bacon fat. Totally out now. Might have to fry up some bacon, save the fat, supplement with sunflower oil, and blend 2 or 3 strips of chopped bacon with the eggs and stuff before adding and emulsifying the fats. Might work: might just make a greasy mess. We'll see! Thanks for the inspiration!

 

[mosparky]

you try that and report back. The lack of excess bacon grease is the other thing that has stopped me.

I will be trying this spread also, thanks for posting. When getting short of bacon grease, I occasionally buy a little pack of inexpensive hog jowl (from the cheek but resemble fatty bacon ends in texture and flavor), sometimes it hard to find and have to call around. I put a new grease foil pan on my Griddle and fry it up. It puts off a lot of "bacon" grease and makes little chewy snackies similar to jerky to keep in the freezer.

This sounds really good

Considering I missed this thread the first 2 times the answer is no
But some of the other comments on making a mayo jam has my mind rolling too
