Fresh Pork Lard
- Ready In:
- 2hrs 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 2
- Yields:
-
1 3/4 cups
- Serves:
- 28
ingredients
- 1 lb pork fat, cut into 1 inch cubes (do not use bacon or salt pork)
- 1 lb pork fat, cut into 1 inch cubes (do not use bacon or salt pork)
directions
- Preheat oven to 275 deg F.
- Spread the cubes out in a deep baking dish, place in oven.
- Stir every once in a while as the fat renders into a clear liquid.
- When the baking dish contains only clear liquid and browned bits (about 2 hours), carefully remove the dish from the oven (letting the cracklings color richly gives the lard a fuller, roastier flavor).
- Let the lard cool to lukewarm, then strain.
- Store the lard in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator (freeze if you won't use it all within a month).

<p>I love to cook, bake and eat. Sometimes I'm more in the mood to cook than to eat (or clean up the mess!) I love to think of new ways to cook everyday foods and spice things up. I love to try new foods, I'll try most anything once. </p>
