01
Cut the well-chilled fat into dice of about 1 cm: the smaller the pieces, the more evenly it renders.
-

Place them in a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the water: it keeps the fat from sticking at the start, then evaporates.

Melt over very low heat for 2 hr to 2 hr 30 min, stirring from time to time. The fat must never smoke.

It's ready when the remaining pieces are golden and sink to the bottom, and the fat is clear.

Strain through cheesecloth or a coffee filter into a clean, dry jar.
-
06
Let cool to room temperature, seal and store in the refrigerator. Salt the cracklings and eat them as they are.
