Stove Top-Rendered Lard image

Waste not, want not! Homemade lard comes in handy in all kinds of recipes, including these Biscochitos. Martha made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 711.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Makes 1 to 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 1

3 to 5 pounds chilled raw pork fat (preferably leaf lard from the kidney region)

Steps:

  • Working in batches, cut, grate, or grind fat into small pieces. If the fat begins to soften in your hands, return it to the refrigerator until firm.
  • Place ground fat in a heavy-bottomed pot set over very low heat. Add 1 cup water. Leave on stove until completely melted, 4 to 5 hours. As fat renders, crispy cracklings will form, rising to the surface of the bubbling fat. Use a slotted spoon to remove cracklings to a paper towel-lined plate. These are best eaten sprinkled with salt.
  • Strain rendered lard through a fine sieve and pour into jars. Lard may be stored at room temperature just like olive oil. It may also be stored in the refrigerator with no change to flavor or texture.

Categories     Pork

Time 3h30m

Yield 20 lbs.

pork fat, from the belly,leaf fat and back fat (Do not use ruffle fat "or" fat from internal organs as it is dark and soft, thus inferior)

  • Render until all is melted and all moisture is cooked off and evaporated.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Dip liquid from roaster and strain through triple layer of cheesecloth.
  • (Note:After you have dipped out most of the lard and you have bits of crackling left, continue to cook these down on top of stove but watch it closely and don't let it get too hot.) Pour into 5 to 10 pound containers.
  • Cover tightly.
  • Store immediately in a freezer if possible.
  • Quick cooling produces a fine grained lard.
  • Store in freezer.
  • You can increase storage time for this lard by adding a 3 pound can of vegetable shortening to every 50 pounds of lard.
