This evening when I was boneing out a sow that we had caught, I decided to render some fat. I took a double hand full of fat and cut it into small pieces. Then I put the fat in a pot full of water and boiled it for at least an hour, adding water as needed.
Then I poured it all into my cast iron skillet and let the remaining water cook out and then it started to fry. I put it on a low fire and constantly stirred it. I now have about two cups of lard and some fat cracklins.
They sell them for $.99 at the gas station. Save yourself some time kiddo.
Just teasing. Thank you for sharing.
