We have a bumper crop of good lard this year and would take us forever to use it all. If you are making tamales or just want some lard and are fairly local, let me know and I'll meet you somewhere. This is all from Berkshire bellies and hams.

Never tried lard. Is Connecticut local enough?
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

That's a mighty kind gesture on your part brother Tex. Making a little from some haunch fat myself.

What are you guys using the lard for? I'll use for pie crust, rare for fried chicken and for no melt suet. Just curious.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

we don't deep fry a lot but I hit stuff out of the SV in a larded pan to get a sear on it. better than veggie oil and has a very high smoke point. we do use it in pie crusts quite a bit and we make a ton of tamales this time of year. Tex_mEx Christmas and allbgebrent said:

I wish I could take you up on that! We use a fair amount this time of year. Or I should say my wife uses it to make killer pie crusts that I enjoy a lot.Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle

I would really like to have some of your lard, however I am not even close to what would be considered "fairly" local.They/Them

Cannot beat lard to make flaky pie crust! We also feed the birds and lard is a great component in suet that brings in woodpeckers and many other species!Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga
