Fresh Pork Lard

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 275 deg F.

2. 2

   Spread the cubes out in a deep baking dish, place in oven.

3. 3

   Stir every once in a while as the fat renders into a clear liquid.

4. 4

   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).

5. 5

   Let the lard cool to lukewarm, then strain.

6. 6

   Store the lard in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator (freeze if you won't use it all within a month).
