Finally realized I had to go to a 'slaughter house' to get pork fat... local groceries, meat markets just won't help..
So, in February I contacted Double S meats and asked them to save me some pork fat... Today I got the call.... 'We have your pork fat'.. Our driver will be in Omak this afternoon and he will deliver it... OK !!!! It's free... They butcher folks animals and what ever they don't want, the meat dude can't sell it... It's not inspected or something... So, I got about 23#'s of prime pig fat for nada.... Around here, folks raise "exotics"... not many folks grow pink pigs... I found 2 black hairs on the meat... Probably couldn't see the white ones EH ?? So I'm happy....
Now I have to figure out what part of the pig the fat came from, so I can use the better stuff .... It all seemed fairly dense and hard... not like belly fat... He knew it was for sausage so maybe he culled the 'not so prime' fat...
Here's what I got.....
... ...
Bagged in approx. 2.5# bread sack bags.... Then put in vac bags and sealed... in the freezer now...
