Cook Time: 60 Minutes
Ready In: 90 Minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 quart hog lard
10 pounds pork fat with skin, cut into 1-inch pieces
salt
Directions:
1. Heat the hog lard in a large, deep, heavy pot. Add the pork fat pieces, stirring to prevent sticking. When the cracklins start to float in the oil and are getting brown (this can take a long time), remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season, to taste, with salt. When cool, store in an airtight container.
