Boiled bacon in a glass jar with bay leaf

1. We cut the fat in large pieces, focusing on the neck of the jar (they must pass through it).
2. Garlic is cleaned, squeezed out through a press.
3. In a small container, mix the garlic gruel with pepper, salt and bay leaves, after breaking them into pieces. Mix it up.
4. Each piece of fat is generously coated with the resulting mixture and put in a jar, tamping it well.
5. Choose a deep enough pot (preferably, by putting a jar in it, you can cover the pot with a lid). Put a small kitchen towel on the bottom, put a jar of lard on it, pour enough water so that it is level with the lard. Cover the tin lid with the jar itself and (if possible) the pan.
6. Bring the water to a boil and, reducing the heat, cook the fat for 2.5-3 hours.
7. The finished fat is cooled, cleaned of spices, cut into slices. The rest of the fat is stored in the refrigerator.

Bon appetit!
