How to Make Home Rendered Lard
- Cut the fat into large pieces removing meat. Place fat in large roaster. Place is a 200 F degree oven and allow to melt.
- Melting can take a while, but a hot oven will burn the lard. Be patient! When melted strain through a strainer lined with 2-3 layers of cheese cloth.
- I use an ice cream pails to strain it into. It will appear brown. Allow to cool and you will have white fluffy lard.
