Hi Rosie! - This dressing will keep for up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator. Just reheat to warm up when you're ready to eat again. :) Enjoy!

How can you end up with 1 3/4 cup dressing when you only use 1/2 cup apple cinder vinegar?

Hello Diane! The other ingredients in the recipe, including the pound of bacon, add volume to this dressing. Enjoy!

The bacon drippings should be left in the dressing. This serves as the oil you may typically see in a vinaigrette. Thanks for cooking with us!

This is basically the same recipe I use for several German recipes with the exception that I whisk 1 beaten egg into the mixture in the pan n cook till thickened.
