This morning I woke up craving a sweet and salty treat that would satisfy my taste buds. I contemplated on reaching for a delightful peanut butter bar that my roommate, Elise made last night but I decided to resist the temptation and fry up some candied salt pork instead. Great alternative right?
So let's get started! This recipe comes from my Papa, he was known for fryin' up some mean salt pork! It's super simple because you prepare it exactly like bacon just coat it in sugar once you pull it out of the grease. By the way salt pork is non-caloric so don't be afraid to coat that baby in some serious sugar!
