We bought a half-pig in December (organically raised, free range) and I got the fat from the butcher, sort of cut into small pellets (which saved me a LOT of time). This recipe is what I needed to turn it into a usable product. Wow, does this make an awesome pie crust!

Just make sure it is sealed up tight. 1/2 pint glass jars & lids from olives or pickles, etc. that have been thoroughly washed and soaked in water w/baking soda to remove the lingering scents, are the perfect size for my storage needs.
I have found that if in the fridge too long, it will develop a stale/old taste and also if not strained well, will develop mold or mildew. But, you cannot beat lard for seasoning beans, greens, etc.

Makes great homemade soaps too.
