Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 Bacon diced, strips
  • 2 cups lard
  • 1 onion diced or grated
  • 2 green apples peeled, cored, seeded, and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

  1. In a large, heavy nonstick pan, melt lard on medium high heat.
  2. Add finely diced bacon and onions and continue to cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned - about 10 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low and add in diced apples, garlic, salt, and marjoram.
  4. Continue to cook until bacon and onions are a deep caramel brown.
  5. Remove from heat and place in covered bowl and let cool. Refrigerate to cool and bring back to a thicker consistency, then serve. Smalec should be soft and room temperature, but white and solidified, not liquid like in the pan.
