Chef Frank: Thyme, This was fresh but I dried myself. What the fandom hears: I selected the perfect seeds and waited for 10 years to get the perfect thyme and dried in conditions that I just know thanks to the shared knowledge of ancient monks which allowed me to train for ages and here is. Chef basically you are Chuck Norris of the Kitchen. Embrace the title already.

This recipe looks amazing and I want to try it. So many places in my area make bacon jam that's just bacon and onion cooked to death. While it has it's place and is tasty it's also super one note in an umami salt bomb sort of way. The chipotles, and herbs, and stout beer make this sound so much more deep and balanced. Going to give this a shot soon.

Sometimes, I grind a dried bay leaf in a coffee grinder. NOT the Starbucks coffee grinder. A different one, used only for dried herbs and spices. It refreshes the flavours. Yum. Know the dif between a spice and an herb? Herbs are the leaves. Spices are the bark (cinnamon), seeds, branches and roots, typically. Cilantro? The leaves and sometimes the tiny stems. Coriander? The seeds. Beet leaves? Herbs. The root? A veg. Love you, Chef Frank. Cannot wait to see you back on the 3-Levels w Ms. Rose.

@@tomf3150 I know that, silly. Cilantro is the leaves and short stems and the genus for the category, and is thus an herb. Coriander is a spice, the seeds. That's how you can tell the dif between an herb and a spice. Herb: Leaves and short stems. Spice: Seeds and stems. Cinnamon is a spice bc it comes from the bark of the tree. Celery leaves is an herb, but celery seeds are a spice. Ditto many herbs and spices. Happy cooking trails from a fellow foodie... ⚘🙏❤🙏⚘

A friend of mine in England just got a Pepper Cannon. As a result, I can't borrow it to see how awesome it is and I can't quite afford one of my own yet. Basically a Pepper Cannon can grind ten times as much as a regular grinder due to its milled anodized aluminum design So I hope Frank gets one so I can enjoy it vicariously through his videos. Maybe a rich fan can get him one for Christmas :)

It’s really easy. I keep a Mason jar on the back of my stove and just pour it straight in from the pan. If you wanted to, you could pour it through a fine mesh strainer to remove any burnt bits. However, I’ve found they settle to the bottom of the jar fairly quickly. Some people refrigerate theirs, but my family has had a jar or can on the back of the stove for generations with no issue.

The way I see it is that using a little grease (bacon fat, vegetable oil, etc.) simply helps things slide around during the initial rendering so as to prevent burning. I think. :) It also reminds us all that we ought to have bacon fat in the fridge at all times. I had a little left but it was rancid. I'm going to make this recipe today and I bought two packages of bacon so I could have more bacon fat around and then I'll use the spare bacon for BLTs or Red White and Blue Potato Salad or something.
