A SPREAD? Now that's mighty interesting, Jake. When I make mine I cut
chunks of rind about 3/4"x1-1/4". No spread about it.

How do I use it? To accompany meat, on the side of the plate. :-) Or
maybe a sandwich. Or a salad. Or howsomever pleases you, Sir. :-)

Did you make the full recipe, starting with four quarts of prepared
rind? That's a gallon (GOT THAT, GEORGE?) of chunks. To finish up with
two small jars is inconceivable unless you were tasting as you went and
found it to be pleasing to your palate. :-)
A spread, huh? <Barb scratches her head in amazement.>
