I did go as far as finding out what days the local supermarket butcher could give me the best quality pork fat for free, but I haven’t yet gotten around to making it.
Beans and rice have become a large part of my diet for economic reasons, and I do intend on looking into homemade lard to brighten up the beans.
I know that the store bought lard didn’t add much, but this homemade stuff sounds like a whole new ballgame.
For beans try bacon grease. It helps justify the cost of bacon.
