Venison Lard

dadgum man! I wanted to try this last season. I am going to do this as well.

Figured I would give it a try tonight with some of the fat trimmings off the leg I was butchering. On a scale of 1-10, the smell is about a 2. I wouldn't classify it as totally "neutral", but it's certainly not overpowering at all. I would expect the ability to use this as a baking fat with as mild as the flavor is��..but as lean as a deer can be, there's not a big yield at this point. I might have 3 oz. in the jar now.

I'm looking forward to cooking with it to see how well it incorporates, though.

Yep.

I haven't ever really thought about it, but gonna try too Poser.

BTW - I really like the cast iron in your pic & vids...ain't nothing like it!

 

[TAFKAP]

Yeah, you don't get much. Did you try a bite of the raw fat?

Yep�.about like coconut oil, without the coconut flavor.

That is really interesting. The wife cooks with coconut oil all the time. I like the benefits but hate the flavor.

How much fat did you start with and how much lard did it make?
