Twenty-one pints of extremely high quality lard from this fall's boar.
Just enough to see us through the winter methinks!
Happy Happy! :D
Next up - a mountain of smokies & pepps!! ;)

Reputedly makes the finest quality of home made soap as well, that's if anyone is into doing such a thing. :)
Thanks Matt for showing how you do that.
The old timers used to harvest a bear just for the fat ...makes great sausage too .Secret is to render it in a cast iron pot and keep the temperature down,bear fat burns easily.We use the lard for baking both bread and pastries
Nog, thanks for the detailed rendering process. Looks great and even tastes better!!
Okay, I have to try this now, that looks really good and my wife is a baker. :-)
