I rendered the fat from my bear this year and we used some of the cracklings- great in cornbread. We use the bear oil all year.
Bear oil is great for frying an egg in the morning or anything you might want to sizzle in a pan. It's great for cooking as a replacement for oil in cornbread for sure and many other things. We use it like lard and while many people no longer use hog fat for cooking, we use the bear oil in biscuits and anything that asks for a measure of cooking oil.for what pray tell??
Davy Crockett use it to grease his balls.for what pray tell??
