• Traditional & Practical: Nose-to-tail, old-fashioned kitchen staple.

How to Render Lard:

• 1. Chop or Grind: Cut fat into small cubes or run through a grinder for faster, even rendering.
• 2. Low & Slow Heat: Place fat in a heavy pot or slow cooker over very low heat. Do not let it brown.
• 3. Stir Occasionally: Allow the fat to slowly melt and separate from the solids.
• 4. Strain: Once fully melted and lightly golden, strain through cheesecloth into clean jars.
• 5. Cool & Store: Let cool to solidify. Store refrigerated or frozen for long-term use.

When rendered gently, the finished lard will be smooth, white, and clean tasting. Avoid high heat to prevent discoloration or strong flavor.
