Guh. This makes an enormous amount but as it’s meant to be a sauce it’s plenty easy to find thing to dip in it. Apple slices, a cover for popcorn, cakes of all sorts, fruit of all sorts, pour over ice cream, bacon, your elbow....
fantastic sauce. cooked for 5+ minutes so was perfectly thick. also thickens as it cools.
Don’t pour in the bacon fat piping hot. Allow it to cool so you don’t separate the butter. Made that mistake and my chef brother in-law had to fix my error by skimming the separated fat then adding more butter.
