Made some lard

[kawboy]

Made some lard from the hog we picked up last week. Never made lard before, and have no idea what I'll do with it, but wanted to try. I suppose I'll use it for frying, just like bacon grease. Probably do the heart up one night, fry it in its own fat. It was fun to do. The ribs and chops have been good so far as well. Fun to try new things, just a hundred and fifty-ish pounds to go!

Exelent! I'm old school from middle of Europe years and years ago. I love pork fat on rye bread with salt ,mabey slice of onion on top. Especially in the winter. Good energy food! Lol. Don't forget the crackling!

Use for flavouring in cooking. Add herbs and spices to make spreads.
Many lunches of my younger days consisted of lard spread on slice of bread.
I use it a lot for potted meat. Cook meat ribs sausages in it, filter, then store all meats in the same fat. Let cure for at least a month then pick some pieces and fry. Addictive.

My dad used to talk about lard sandwiches as his lunch when he was younger. I'm not supposed to eat bread, but maybe I'll have to sneak one sometime.
