*Notes: I know it’s a lot of duck fat but you can use this duck fat to fry with up to 2 more times after you have used it in this recipe. Here’s how: After you have completed using this recipe, strain your duck fat through a fine mesh strainer to remove any impurities, or food solids. And keep it in your fridge to fry again in the future up to 2 more times. Optionally you could also just cook with it little by little over time after you’ve strained and chilled it.
