Bacon Salt

Ingredients:

500g/1 pound bacon
1.5 tablespoons good quality sea salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 180C/350F and place a rack on top of a baking tray (line with foil if you want to minimise the cleaning necessary). Cook bacon for 15-20 minutes checking after 15 minutes and drain on paper towels removing any excess fat.

Cool slightly and then place the bacon, salt and pepper in a food processor and blitz until fine (or as fine as you want). Store in the fridge in an airtight container and extend the life of this by using a clean spoon every time you use it.

Sprinkle a little bit on everything from salads to baked goods.

Pass the caramel ice cream and bacon salt.
