Simple Steps To Render Pure Lard For Cooking And Baking
"Render pure lard from pork fat and create a liquid gold. It’s a rewarding process that connects homesteaders to traditional cooking practices. When I was first married years ago, my mother-in-law taught me how to render lard. She just used a roasting pan to melt the fat at a very low temperature. On the farm, she was happy to spend the day in the house. While she used large chunks of fat, I’ve since learned it is better to use smaller pieces. It melts faster, you can use a lower heat, and it takes less time."
