450 ml tarragon vinegar
2/3 l bacon grease
225 ml lemon juice
450 g sugar
225 ml white wine
50 g corn starch
50 g pesto
1/3 kg chopped crisp bacon

1. Combine the vinegar, bacon drippings, lemon juice and sugar in a sauce=
pot and bring to a strong boil.

2. Dissolve the corn starch in the wine, then add to the boiling mixture.

3. Throw in the bacon pieces and the pesto AFTER the dressing has cooled=
completely. Chilled this should last a number of weeks.

Author's Notes:
This is off the top of my head so...

At the Italian restaurant where I learned this recipe we didn't put the=
bacon or pesto in until the time of preperation. Heat an amount of the=
dressing in a pan. Pour 151 rum on the spinach leaves and light. Extinguish=
the flames with the warmed dressing.

Difficulty : easy.
Precision : measure ingredients.
