I remember mother rendering lard when a pig was butchered. It has quite a strong smell rendering down if I remember correctly. Lard, camp dog, and the critter of the day equals mealtime, lol. Thanks for the show Brother. I enjoyed it as always! You folks have a good day.
There is a bit of a smell associated with it but not bad…..I’m wondering what was going on there? Maybe some was bubbling out onto the stove creating smoke?
I rendered lard and tallow for the first time myself this year; after learning how bad processed seed oils (commonly known as vegetable oil) are for you. I was told it needed to be pressure canned, but I’m going to flip my jars next time. That’s how they did it growing up. Definitely would be easier and save me a lot of time. 👍🏽
There ain't nothing better than a great family dinner enjoying a roasted critter, no doubt Mr Mcgie. You need that salad to wash down and clean out your system. God bless yawl. Always love watching the whole family and Frankie at the table. 😂❤😊
I do a lot of cooking with lard from my pigs these days. Make soap with it too. A coworker of mine gave me some TN bear lard (grease) and it’s amazing. I sure would like to get to hunting some TN bear.
You did an awesome job ! I never made lard before the only thing close is saving some bacon grease . I enjoy my salad as much as the rest of the meal lol . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
We render lard and also beef tallow. Always use lard for pastry. Beef is great for frying. Never problems when I use my cast iron. Have a great day and God bless 💞
Sure looked good, thought you would make some mashed potatoes to go with it. McGie did you build that dinner table that you all eat on? Did your dad make the chairs?
Growing up we always used a cheese cloth to stain them and ate the crackling's I eat some of them now but when I do it there’s just tow many when I do it can I freeze them or can them I love them
Great video. I noticed one of your sons working on a popsicle bridge? I sure hope so. I so enjoyed the previous bridge videos. Hope to see a new one this year. I can remember my high school shop teacher building them and then adding weights until they broke. If if was good luck.
Buttermilk Ranch Possum is one of the best and distinct flavors! It tastes like Possum 🤙🏻😂 Thank Ye fer Always having vids eating Possum Wish I had some🙏🏼🤠
Hey Mcgee my name is Michael I live in Cookeville tenn and I injoy watch your video of you and your boys some hard working young men all that sauger that you make I would injoy meeting you and your boys and frank so.mayby someday we could me up maybe become spring time if you alow me to I watch your video every day all day God bless you and your fliamly. And frank fliamly.
I just told my wife that they would go good in scrapple! If I get a chance I’ll try that! We sometimes use it in cornbread. But if we’re overwhelmed with it the chickens love em!
What do you do with the cracklings? Can you add them to scrapple? My family just doesn't like them like in "Little House on the Prairie" Or feed them to the dog and chickens?
Which one of your cook stoves do you like the best? I have the hearthmaster 240 by kitchen queen that I found used at my local hardware store for $1500. I like it pretty good but would like it better if it had grates instead of the solid brick floor.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I would not go to the trouble to trap, cook and eat that ugly critter if it only tastes like chicken! I’d just eat chicken. Smh
I get the feeling that you would not have allowed the hordes of illegals into the country, who are in a sense another type of wild hog. Raising hogs for table pork is a highly useful and respectable activity.
Tell Frank it’s Freddy, the freeloader and Clem Caddle hopper I’m 58 years old I love red scald he’s one of my favorite comedians brother Micah it’s Jeff Barry again from Lebanon Pennsylvania. Can you please put me on your prayer list I’m in the Hershey Medical Center right now I had an infection in my knee replacement and this made for 11 surgeries on my knee and if it ever gets infected again, the doctor told me straight up it’ll be amputation from the top of the knee down so I pray that I’ll fall on it or anything like that so I could heal and pray that the infection drives us evil infection out of me. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
That oldest boy of yours is getting big. Great video.
Goodness yes! He’s a hoss!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures absolutely
Any of your daughter's married?

I’m pretty sure it’ll keep just as long!
I absolutely loved this video, making use of available resources, free.
That’s what it’s all about! Making do with what you have!

That was so much salad though!!! I feel like a vegetarian now!!!😂😂😂

I was given some bear lard several years ago and I loved it!

Lard is fun to make and not hard at all. I usually have just saved the fat for sausage, but we’re overrun with fat right now 😂😂😂
I've rendered lard all my life but always did it in very large iron skillets never seen it in a big pot
And I do agree with Frank I'd run off also when it comes to eating opossum
😂😂😂 but he did eat it!😂
Thank you sharing making lard' you have a nice looking family and I hope y'all have a great week'God bless y'all.
Thanks so much!

Cast iron LOVES grease of any kind!!😁
Ordered several of the campdog seasons. I got the crab boil also for a low country boil. Thanks for the contact and discount 😂
You’re in for a treat!!!
Sure looked good, thought you would make some mashed potatoes to go with it. McGie did you build that dinner table that you all eat on? Did your dad make the chairs?
No that table was made by Amish craftsmen.
Nice son , you are a very talented man 👍
Thank you very much!
Outstandingly video love the lard making and critters in the pan 🥘 yummy thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida
Glad you enjoyed it! We had fun!😂
I did because when I get lard it's crisco from walmart😅
😂😂😂
Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing how to do this. I'll be so happy the day I no longer buy anything in, homemade is best ☺
You can do it!
Growing up we always used a cheese cloth to stain them and ate the crackling's I eat some of them now but when I do it there’s just tow many when I do it can I freeze them or can them I love them
Definitely delicious!
Thank you for sharing your family and your wisdom😊
You are welcome!
Awesome pawpaw pure gold
Absolutely the best!😎
Sure make that possum look good. Love the old wood stove. Reminds me staying with my mamaw. Enjoyed video take care
It’s definitely good stuff! The wood stove is wonderful!
Great video. I noticed one of your sons working on a popsicle bridge? I sure hope so. I so enjoyed the previous bridge videos. Hope to see a new one this year. I can remember my high school shop teacher building them and then adding weights until they broke. If if was good luck.
You absolutely did see that! I built mine today!!!
Excellent Family Dinner. Best
Thank you!
I sure do like that cute little kitchen helper you got and I ain't talking about Frank neither 🤓😄😆😁😉🐝
Me neither😂😂😂
❤ Winter crappie fishing is a good time ya know... 😂 You can fry them in lard too 😅
I’m afraid the crappie are in my cow pasture today 😂😂😂
How are you doing my friend, have not seen you in quite a while. I enjoy your videos, very educational and entertaining.
Welcome back! I’ve been keeping so busy lately making a LOT of videos for you!!
Great video today God bless you and your family
Thank you! You too!
Looking good guys
It’s delicious!
I need me some camp dog and a opossum. You always make me hungry!🙂
Yes you do! Fortunately both are easy to get!!😂😂😂
If we lived a little closer together I would trade blueberries for some lard.🙂
That would be a DEAL! My wife would weep for sheer joy!😂😂😂
Chicken/turtle= opossum 😂❤
😂😂😂

You’re welcome! Hey, they live in town and country! All you need is a live trap and a bowl of cat food!!😂😂😂
It's the best grease to fry fish in
You got that right!

Looks awesome
It was!
What do you do with the cracklins? Can you add them to scrapple? My family don't like them as much as they do in Little House on the Prairie.

Chickens love em!
Rusty sure is a sweet dog
Yes he is!
Good video
Thanks brother…. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
What is the unit on your ceiling by your kitchen table? it is yellow and black.
That is a dewalt battery powered light. We don’t have electricity in our house.
Which one of your cook stoves do you like the best? I have the hearthmaster 240 by kitchen queen that I found used at my local hardware store for $1500. I like it pretty good but would like it better if it had grates instead of the solid brick floor.
I like the kitchen queen better than the Hecco
Clem Kadiddlehopper and Freddie the Freeloader.
😂😂😂. Great names 😂😂😂
My dog is just like that every time I process meat(I tried to be careful of my wording). I rendered deer fat this year, it was good.
You worded it correctly evidently…… it made it through the UA-cam gauntlet 😂😂😂
Frank it's Freddy the free loader and Claude caddil hopper.
😂😂😂😂😂
Where do you store your lard
In the cellar.
What’s Opossum taste like? Don’t say chicken unless it tastes like chicken.🤔 Caleb likes it, it must be good!😊
I’m going to highly suggest that you try it! Someday the saying will be reversed…….. that chicken tastes like possum!!!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I would not go to the trouble to trap, cook and eat that ugly critter if it only tastes like chicken! I’d just eat chicken. Smh
Franks the best 😂
😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures love your videos my friend I will be back in Kentucky before long like to meet you guys
Do you clean out your possum by putting him up and feeding him?
No, that’s a myth,
Do you use just the leaf lard?
This was almost all leaf…… yes it makes the best!
"You don't get lard lessen you boil the hog!"---John Wayne as Davy Crockett in "The Alamo" (1960)
😂😂😂 Love it!
I get the feeling that you would not have allowed the hordes of illegals into the country, who are in a sense another type of wild hog. Raising hogs for table pork is a highly useful and respectable activity.
You would be correct…… wild Hogs are much less dangerous, as they are restricted by instinct.
How much for one of them jars? 😊
😂😂😂 priceless
I don't like my cracklings ground up small so I chunk the fat up before I render
I can definitely understand that!
Tell Frank it’s Freddy, the freeloader and Clem Caddle hopper I’m 58 years old I love red scald he’s one of my favorite comedians brother Micah it’s Jeff Barry again from Lebanon Pennsylvania.

We’ll definitely pray for you brother!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures thank you my brother
I'm with Frank I would eat that either😂
It’s in word only though 😂😂😂
When it’s in the skillet he’s all about it!😂😂😂
LOI @@McGieHomesteadAdventures

Miss frank in the video's
You're nuts no way I would eat possum😂😂
😂😂😂 it’s so good!!!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures well as long you're the one eating it. Lol
First
Poor JD!!!😅😂
That's alot of lard!
You're going to need a bigger frying pan! 🤣
I’m hoping they make a bigger one!!😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventureswhat size was that pan? The largest I see in Amazon is 24 inch but not going to pay that price! Wow
You are so handsome 😊
😅 maybe the camera is helping me!🤣
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures No, you're a handsome man! Just remember to shake that tail feather more!
😂😂😂😂😂
If y’all are that hungry, the Red Cross has some meat in the freezer bruh 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
😂😂😂 that’s where we differ greatly! I wouldn’t trust your method at all😂😂😂
