Sweet and Sour Bacon Dressing for Dandelion Greens

Hi all,

OK, so here it is: 

For one bunch of dandelion:

4 slices bacon, cooked and diced
2 T. flour
1/4 c. cider vinegar
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. water

Stir the flour into the bacon fat until the raw flour taste is cooked out, to make a roux (3-5 minutes, stirring constantly). Add the vinegar and water, stirring constantly.  When they start to simmer, add the sugar and keep stirring until the whole thing reduces into a thick, bubbling sauce.  Pour over the dandelions and top with chopped bacon and hard-boiled eggs.

This dish is full of strong flavors -- sweet, sour, bitter, salty . . . and it's DELICIOUS!!!  Give it a try - and remember - bacon even makes weeds taste good!!  See you at the market!
