I bought a 21# ham for Thanksgiving, very yummy and full of fat. Now I'm wondering about some recipes incorporating the fat. The flavor is too delecate for frying or scrambling eggs. I tried some as a spread on toast, but again, too delicate a flavor. I do plan to make split pea soup, but know that I can't dump all of it into the soup. I hate to dump it as I have always done, trained by mother and wife to do so, because it has a really great taste. Any suggestions?
stovetop rendering in cast iron skillet on medium heat -- or lower. Cut different sizes (for different purposes), but mostly around 1" x 1-1/2".
(before you start, make sure you dry off any water moisture that may have condensed on the fat). Cracklin's are good hot from the skillet!
otherwise, use:
in cornbread,
on salad,
on top of grits (with butter, too -- i mean, why not go all out?),
with shrimp and garlic, stir-fried,
on collards or mustard greens.
in mayo on top of a good tomato.
in a whitebread sandwich, while they're still warm and a little greasy -- maybe with a fried egg.
in deviled eggs.
on a baked russet loaded with butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar!
Suet is a high energy formulation of animal fat and other ingredients to attract insect eating birds. Suet is a quick source of heat and energy for birds, who's metabolisms are set on fast forward. It traditionally has been used as a good substitute for the insects that birds usually feed upon but are not plentiful in cold weather. Suet can be presented all year long -
