[24] He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

Salt with 2 T coarse kosher for 1 hour, in fridge.

Add peanut oil and bacon grease in Dutch Oven.

Bring temp up to 225 degrees, gently add chunks.

Fry 20 minutes one side, pick up pieces periodically so they won't stick.

After 40 minute fry time, add all your other ingredients and spice mixture to meat oil mixture.

Don't brown but slightly.

Proverbs 6:16-19

    [16] There are six things that the LORD hates,

        seven that are an abomination to him: 

    [17] haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

        and hands that shed innocent blood, 

    [18] a heart that devises wicked plans,

        feet that make haste to run to evil, 

    [19] a false witness who breathes out lies,

        and one who sows discord among brothers.
