Another from Rick Bayless's "Mexico One Plate at a Time". The recipe calls for 2 lbs pork fat, but since you can't post only 1 ingredient, it is broken into 2 1 lb increments in the ingredient list.

Time 2h5m

Yield 1 3/4 cups, 28 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 lb pork fat, cut into 1 inch cubes (do not use bacon or salt pork)
1 lb pork fat, cut into 1 inch cubes (do not use bacon or salt pork)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 deg F.
  • Spread the cubes out in a deep baking dish, place in oven.
  • Stir every once in a while as the fat renders into a clear liquid.
  • When the baking dish contains only clear liquid and browned bits (about 2 hours), carefully remove the dish from the oven (letting the cracklings color richly gives the lard a fuller, roastier flavor).
  • Let the lard cool to lukewarm, then strain.
  • Store the lard in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator (freeze if you won't use it all within a month).
