Ingredient is removed before eating--how to count?

I make homemade red pasta sauce that uses salt pork for flavoring, but the salt pork is removed before eating. How do I add the calories/fat info for this? I think it should be logged if I use it, I just don't really know the best way to do so.

    You could weigh the pork when you add it, then weigh it again when you remove it and log the difference. Most of the change will be rendered fat, with enough water that the macros should be close.

    It would only be an estimate.
    I would weigh the raw salt pork before adding it.
    Remove the salt pork after cooking, let it cool, then weigh it again.
    Log the difference in weight using the MFP entry below.
