Thank you for bringing back a great old memory. We foraged for a lot of things when I was a kid. Mushrooms, wild asparagus, dandelions, raspberries, blackberries, and nuts. Simpler times.
My mom didn’t really use a recipe. She mixed bacon fat, salt, pepper, sugar, and apple cider vinegar until it was steaming. I never remember her measuring, just cooking to taste.
My personal favorite recipe came from a collection of Amish recipes called Cooking from Quilt Country. I can’t find a version of it online.
Here is one pretty close. I personally prefer apple cider vinegar over white vinegar.
When I was a kid my mom would send us out with a bucket and little spade to dig up dandelions. She would make a wilted salad with hot bacon dressing.
what, a hot bacon dressing? that sounds tasty.
Oh stop, I'm getting hungry!!! That sounds divine.

Not really a Q topic, but let’s just say saving your bacon fat is a survival tip for when the storm is upon us.
Thank you. Will make survival tastier.
