Wow, using it in a baking recipe for crust?! Never heard of that.

Yes, the grease can be used in a crust for a baking recipe.  This is called a “vegetable shortening crust” and it works best in a tart.  It is a tasty and practical way to use bacon grease.

You can also make a fruit cobbler, like a peach cobbler.  This is a special kind of cobbler where a sauce is made with the fruit and bacon fat, which makes for a very tasty and scrumptious dessert.  Here’s a recipe for peach cobbler: http://www.kitchenproject.com/cooking/easy/peach-cobbler-recipe/
