nice bear thanks for sharing
It's not hard at all. We only saved a 4 liter ice cream pail worth of fat. You run it through the meat grinder, then you can render in a pot or a slow cooker. With either one, add 1/4 cup of water. If using a slow cooker, let it do it's thing for around 10 hours, use on high at first then turn down to medium. If using a pot, render for about 1 to 2 hours on medium heat. Stir it every once in awhile. When done, strain into containers using 4 layers of cheesecloth. The stuff left in the cheesecloth is the cracklings. You can either throw the cracklings away, or add some seasonings for taste and deep fry them, or bake in oven for an hour at 350 degrees.
A friend said perogies fried in the lard is pretty good!

Some claim the fat from around the kidneys has a better flavour than fat from under the hide in the back area.
Something about the biology of how fat is generated and stored , blah blah blah
Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole
Nice bear. When I was in college I ate a lot of meat. Mostly tasted like chicken smelled like fish. LOL
