Homemade Lard
Homemade Lard
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork Fat Trimmings
- 1 Apple Peel
- 1 tbsp Salt
Instructions
- Cut the pork fat into small cubes.
- Soak in cold water for one hour. This will release any blood that remains in the meat.
- Place the pork fat into a large pot and cook on medium high heat until the fat has rendered, and the pieces of meat are crunchy and fried – About 45 mins.
- Strain the fat with a mesh strainer and add the lard to a glass jar. The pork meat that remains can be eaten or used in recipes.
