My first batch of bacon grease soap turned out so splendidly, that it became a favorite bath soap.
A neighbor brought another can of bacon grease, so I got to melting and straining. I added a bit of baking soda to the grease to help it smell less of bacon. After several rounds of straining, I made a new batch.
Added a bit of tea tree oil, and it is happily curing.
Hope this gives someone a bit of encouragement, if you're considering that can of bacon grease in the fridge.
I prefer it to Anchor lard. A little more work, but I find well worth the effort.
