During the "fat free"80's, I talked Mom into buying fat free Saltines. She said, "soon we are all going to have to eat a tablespoon of lard a day to stay alive." Smartest woman ever❤

[@bonnieandclydeshomestead2477]

I mix mine with beer

[@BethEmily763]

Mother was one of 12, born on a farm in 1925. She went to Heaven in 2017😇

[@theIAMofME]

@@BethEmily763 Wow! You were so lucky to have her that long. If mom were alive today she'd be 94. Born in 1930. She passed in 2010. After a doc talked her into having open heart surgery after she had said no. Beth, I can hear myself trying to get my mom into "fat free" saltines. LOL We must be around the same age. I'm 57.

[@Marlenesgardens]

😊lol so true. My father-in-law was raised during the depression they ate bread and lard sandwiches. And so did everyone else. Your mom was spot on!

[@UNVAXXEDt-m7x]

What's a Mom?

[@bonnieandclydeshomestead2477]

I speak for everyone on the tube when I say this….. we are happy you are posting way more!

[@theIAMofME]

Oh yes!!!

[@sarahtroutt1237]

Definitely!

[@opalezell2166]

Yes

[@Kelleena1on1]

Ya we love your life , so fascinating, thanks for sharing.

[@We-Fly-Soon_Sister]

Lorraine I am so happy to see that you're using the pot holders that I made for you. It makes me happy in my heart to see you using them

[@gaylewatkins4685]

@We-Fly-Soon_Sister What a thoughtful gift and a lovely comment. Happy Holidays. 🎀🎄🥰

[@irmibullinger1421]

Ah so you made them! I spotted them right off the bat and asked if she made them. I have made a ton, best pot holders ever!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Beautiful job rendering the lard Lorraine! We can read directions but nothing is better than actually watching the process. Thanks to you and Jason for filming this for us. ❣️ I love that the property is an actual family homestead. You are rendering lard from your pasture raised pigs that were born on your own land. You know everything about your pigs and everything they have been fed. Congratulations Jason, Lorraine and Penelope. This is a great achievement.🎉

[@debrezo58]

Amen! I agree! 💖 Thank you Lorraine 💖

[@Mindy56743]

My grandma lived to be 98 years old and pork fat was her go to for everything. Her fried chicken was the absolute best and it was fried in lard/ bacon grease. She said the bacon grease was a seasoning all on its own!

[@coreyshine6720]

The kitchen looks fantastic

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks!

[@goatgirl61]

Fats back baby , but Im from the south , it never left in the first place . My grandma had a huge jar in the fridge all the time she lived to be 94 , a slim hardy girl she was 🥰 miss her bunches too ✌️

[@karenhudson6340]

I'm rendering lard right now (first time) and vacuum sealing our first pig. We attended your processing class with Billy in May 2023, bought 3 Berkshire/Mangalitsa pigs March 2024, and we are on our way to some quality meat! Thank you!

[@majosa-mama6016]

I can't get over how beautiful your kitchen makeover turned out. Please make more videos in your kitchen

[@cherylbertolini3140]

good evening, what a treat so many videos this week:)

[@SowtheLand]

Hey! Glad you're enjoying the content.

[@ckfamilyhomestead]

Great video y'all. My granny taught me always use them cracklins for sweet potato casserole and crackling cornbread. Good stuff.

[@SowtheLand]

Sounds great!

[@karinjudge7277]

Love this video. When my son gets pork from the butcher. I make sure he gets me the Lard. I use it for cooking and soap making. Works great for both. I also use it on my skin. That may seem strange to some people, but it’s actually very close to human skin in its properties. And it doesn’t smell like pork. It works unbelievable on your skin. It does take a little while to absorb so use sparingly. I can’t visualize a Cast iron skillet without a jar of Lard or Tallow next to it. 😍 Thanks Jason and Lorraine for another nice video. I like your rendering technique better than the water addition and on the stove for hours in a huge pot. God bless 😊🙏

[@karenzorn773]

Wow I wish you lived closer, I would be your first customer to buy this, thanks so much Loraine for showing how to do this.

[@tonyarueff3230]

Same here.

[@irmibullinger1421]

Me too!

[@williamfreeh1198]

you had me at cast iron lol. i have a collection from an estate sale that has to be close to 100 years old.

[@SowtheLand]

That is a great collection!

[@sabinaalvarez6722]

Loraine, I render my own lard, 😅and once they are in the jar and cooled I water bath the jars and it makes them shelf stable. It free’s up space in the freezer. I have been doing this for several years and have not had any jars go bad.

[@brokenmeats5928]

I love ALL Sow the Land videos!

[@lukevandermark71]

Im so jealous of you guys! You guys are living like i want to. So rewarding

[@Handling-Life-1-Day-At-A-Time]

I like how in most of your recent videos, you’ve been putting the item that you’re using. How much it costs and where to purchase it. Very good idea 👍

[@SowtheLand]

I’m glad you appreciate that!

[@josephpedone2004]

I watched my grandmom for years doing the same exact process… thank you for sharing and bringing back the memories 😊👍

[@angelzhomestead]

My sister rendered some using a crockpot on low to start then on warm to finish.

[@bettyturley6735]

I use the crockpot it works well.

[@SowtheLand]

It does

[@opalezell2166]

We use those in corn bread,called crackle bread.

[@sare.macattack]

Amazing information! Thanks so much guys for another awesome video!

[@SowtheLand]

Glad you liked it!

[@gardengrowinmawmaw8642]

You can use those cracklins' in corn bread in place of any fat the recipe calls for. It is delicious!

[@lynh8378]

You sound like you are still congested. I am sending prayers your way that you are in good health soon. Thank you for the video you guys provide so much good information!

[@theIAMofME]

It seems if every NC youtuber I watch sounds like this. Many prayers for that whole area.

[@Grandma_NC]

I really wish I lived close to you. My very early years was on a farm and things cooked in fat are way better.

[@AnneQ-bk6wi]

We raised our own hog this year and I rendered all the fat. I’m pretty sure I have enough for at least a year. I have some tallow too.

[@cherylbertolini3140]

It would be great if you would go to the New England Homesteaders Conference next year:)

[@SowtheLand]

put a good word in for me 😉

[@mariesheppard3750]

Great job. Thanks for showing us how its done

[@sarahtroutt1237]

Good information! I’m just loving the new kitchen- so open & bright!!! Love it!

[@simplybarbara5083]

So thankful for you both. Your education is priceless ❤

[@Miguel195211]

We too got a lot of rain in southeast NC.

[@terrihinton7126]

Thank you miss Lorraine.

[@michellewilson7868]

Fantastic detailed explanation. Thank you.

[@SowtheLand]

Glad you liked it.

[@mollyt9714]

Hopefully, Elvira has all theeee childs😂😂 They're so adorable and I absolutely love the personalities these smaller bred porknbeanies seem to have. I have said it once n I'll say it again for first timers, these breeds are great! (Meat haha) their needs food water shelter secure enclosures, you're not gonna to tend to have the ones that want to go on a random walk about.

[@e.d.2096]

Of course I'm subscribed. I have come to find out that you're BOTH really good at giving instruction. 😊

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks for subbing!

[@Terri-n6w]

Thank you for showing us the rendering in such detail with all the tips. Great

[@sashcraft51]

Very wonderful vlog! Enjoyed the fat rendering.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Great info!

[@clarencewiles963]

How are you vacuuming and sealing your storage bags for the freezer. And could you go through do’s and don’t. When you’re finished how long can you keep frozen? Thumbs up 👍

[@belieftransformation]

Great teaching, fun seeing the animals & now I want a chunk of that rendered cracklings! Thanks for sharing 🤗🇨🇦🌻

[@cynthiabolick3892]

Hello guys , Tks Lorraine for how to render lard...have seen others , still love the way you show and tell us this methed....much love to ya'll.....

[@RedCatt423]

Thanks Lorraine

[@CzarManish]

I'm from India and I always watch your videos.. without fail, we render lard and goat fat for other own use.. 😊

[@kimcampbell7444]

Thank you for the information I've always wanted to know how that was done.

[@phillully4472]

Nice job on the fat rendering Loraine. That makes me want to Get some hog fat to render. I usually collect my rendering from cooking my morning bacon.. I have a small amount I Keep out on my stove counter top. It is the best oil to cook with.

[@wendyburston3132]

I freeze mine in mini ice cube trays and then throw them in a freezer bag.

[@patience1226]

Awesome video!

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks!

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

Was nice to see your wife cooking ❤❤❤

[@jenniewolford1631]

Love crackling! Using it in my scrapple!

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou 😊

[@jsnanax4.]

Thank you both, I have learned something today.

[@taurota1554]

Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@jamesblake7338]

Yep, I make lard also.that crackling is awesome! I brown mine a little more by just throwing back in the pan a few minutes with the salt and pepper!

[@sarahhayes4229]

OMG Lorraine THANK YOU so much for the giving the best explanation on how to render lard.

[@mrphoto776]

You two have such a passion for teaching. I love shows like this one and also the ones where you are building something.

[@ronnielipsi8271]

Awesome video. I learned something. Hope I can do this sometime ... 👍 😊

[@birgitelisabeth9661]

I render my lard in my crock pot, nice and slow.

[@SowtheLand]

we do that with bigger batches. love it

[@lezliesecundaGLP-RD]

Fatty acid profiles like C8 to C31 are showing switching from seed oils to lard, tallow and heavy whipping cream along with staying under 100g CHO daily. Has huge benefits! I am a RD and love studying food science not paid for by kellogg.

[@mandystone3005]

This year I rendered my tallow in my airfryer and I'm happy to report my yield was almost the same. I just pouted out the melted fat as I went and continued airfrying till there were litterally only crackling crumbs left.

[@vickimontgomery5271]

Love this video. Answered a few questions I had. Again, I would love time in the kitchen with Lorraine learning so many things! 🎉

[@catsmother4556]

Chickens looking really nice in their mc mansion. Perfect winter housing. Really well shown rendering class, love it. 🐖

[@veragamsky1734]

I wish i could cook with lard. I was able to buy rendered lard from a place in Chicago. It was expensive but when i got it the lid and ring was off the jar. I used it but was leery to do so cause one never knows if it was tampered with. I would even buy the fat and render myself but i cannot find that either. I hate using oils and mostly cook with Olive Oil.

[@miephoex]

There are always butcher shops. Check with them if they’ll sell it to you. 😊

[@linnaellis212]

Bernice is looking happy!😊

[@marshawarren7175]

I love crackling cornbread. Enjoying the videos.

[@SowtheLand]

Sounds delicious!

[@annettemaddalone4297]

you can grind it frozen then cook it on low

[@cassityart7001]

“Fat Is 🐖Where It’s At!” Hahaha...that is so a kitchen sign.

[@PamelaDraper-j8y]

Oh my goodness Lorraine, this brings back memories ! My Mom would render lard when we lived on the farm. Kept it in crocks down in the root cellar. Now I live in a development with HOA restrictions on everything. Miss that great food & the simple way of living. Hard work but so worth it. Merry Christmas to the whole family 🎄!!

[@DavidSmith-bw3bk]

Thank you Lorraine, this was very informative.

[@DanaFoster-vl5os]

Great job

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks!

[@SifiFan]

My cast iron skillets prefer lard.

[@Marcus-p5i5s]

i cook bacon on a hanging rack in the micro. I render the fat that way and pour it into a purpose built container with a sieve in the top to filter out the bits of cooked bacon meat.

[@paulawhite2882]

Lucky for those who live nearby to purchase the fat. Your kitchen looks great. I'm sure you are enjoying the update. Simple remodeling is fun+

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Jason and Loraine beautiful great good job 🎄🏡🐔🐓🐣🐥🐤🦃🐐🐄🐖🐷🐝🎥👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@Val1950MAgirl]

Rendered lard makes the best soap! 😊

[@brendamaas4293]

We usually used tallow,(beef fat) for soap making and kept the pork fat for cooking.

[@gaylewatkins4685]

My husband loves cracklins. He sprinkles BBQ seasoning on his. 😊

[@heatherk8931]

I canned some porkchop meat bought on sale. I cut as much fat off as possible and cubed it up to can. Then rendered the fat. It was amazing!

[@janwolvin2773]

Great lesson Lorraine

[@gardeninggal249]

Thanks guys! Very helpful!

[@MaryMorgan-l7i]

Thanks Mrs Lorraine. ❤

[@cathykillion6544]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@kimchandler2532]

Lorraine, thanks for doing this video. So helpful for a newbie. How much lard do you use in a year? Its only good for cooking....no baking?

[@theIAMofME]

You could....but, it might have a piggy kinda taste. Leaf Lard (fat from around the pig's kidneys) is what you should use for baking. But, people do use regular pig lard for baking. But, personally, leaf lard is the way to go with baking.

[@wendyburston3132]

​@@theIAMofMEthank you for the definition. Wasn't sure what was meant by leaf lard.😊

[@jenniferr2057]

​@@wendyburston3132it's kinda of flaky... Like leafy layers....

[@clairecoutts7832]

Laughed when you asked Elvira if she was with child😂

[@BrendaJMay]

Yall should sell t-shirts & sweatshirts with pictures of all those Cute Pigs !!!!!!❤😊🐽🐖🐷🐗

[@debrabarlow2367]

In UK we used to get Pork Dripping, which would come from the roast. Poured into a cup it would have brown jelly on the bottom and then white lard like fat on top. We’d have it on toast, or cook with it

[@freecalkid]

Very timely. I just ordered 20 lb home grown fat from a local farmer... a half a pig too. And recommendations about what cuts to order? We love chops and ribs

[@zingerdoutdoors2311]

If you run it thru the grinder it renders awesome!!!

[@linasjostrand4034]

U could grate it when it is a bit firmer (colder) 😊

[@diannemiller4754]

I use my leaf lard with comfrey infused oil to make my comfrey cream. This time i added a little of my beeswax which makes it good as a lip balm. I cook with it mainly until im out of face/hand cream.

[@teresagunther6622]

Wow, so much to learn! Thankyou!

[@Flowers4Bees.Veggies4Me]

Enjoyed your video 💚

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

I love Lard and making my own lard way better than the store bought plus is good for you store bought is no good for you makes your food taste way better it's all around good product I have to go to a local farm that butchers are own pigs and buy it it used to be cheap not so cheap nowadays others vegetables vegetables cost more than meat nowadays in that weird but I grow all my vegetables so it don't matter grow most of my meat which is chickens rabbits I love my rabbits best meat ever mind you haven't taste home raised pigs I don't think the city would allow me to have a pigs although I would like to have a pig but everybody says you can't have just one pig I think I could sneak a pig in a Cooney Cooney anyway but I think I'll be pushing it I mean I'm pushing it with chickens you're only supposed to have 6 layin hens no roosters and I've got 15 chickens and three roosters only keeping one rooster and it is time to change over chickens lot of chickens aren't laying anymore and I don't like the mix of chickens I have there's silky mix and they don't lay very good eggs so this year is get rid of chicken year and I don't like plucking thinking of just letting them go but no make some more chicken broth or chicken soup which I have lots of canned chicken broth and chicken soup it's got to quit being so lazy old man are lazy now that I've got a belly I may even lazier Even give chickens away because no one wants them🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@janelhansen3190]

This was a great video, thank you so much!

[@diablomom]

Love the vids!❤ I use my crockpot AND water. The water cuts down on the smell for me which I’m not crazy about. The water separates as the fat solidifies. I’m also not making mine shelf stable. I just store it in my freezer.

[@johnhoward7298]

You can also stur some into cornbread batter and make crackling cornbread mmm good !

[@TeresaEdwards-kw3np]

Great teaching!

[@ErikaCronje-s9j]

I am going to start looking around where I can get lard to melt down, that justoook delicious

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

Lorriane, you sound like you have a cold so I hope and pray you are feeling better...fast. Really loved ♥this video.

[@HeyHeyAlabama]

I've been watching several different ways of rendering lard. I didn't know the little bits of meat had to be taken off, or that the bubbles were moisture. I just did a batch and think I'll put it back on the stove and let the bubbles cook off.

[@kathyjgosdin4475]

You should get very close to one pint of lard per pound of fat. Weigh the jar before and after.

[@elainehinton2860]

Rendering lard was a winter time project on my grandparents farm. I remember helping cut up the lard while she rendered it down. (I probably pestered her to let me help. lol) My cousins would fight over the cracklings.
