I actually prefer the Cracklin’s over the pork rinds I think they’re better than potato chips. I sure do miss having them....our family rendered lard for many years when we had family who had a farm we raised hogs....my favorite things at that time of the year was when we make the cracklings....
I just love watching your family. Even though you and I live much different lives ( I’m the working parent working 50 hours a week with a 2 hour commute each day ). You encourage me to do what I can and also to appreciate what my husband does homeschooling our kids!
I love how David loves to be in the kitchen and learning how to kill and cut up chickens. I also see his baking skills are much better than mine!
Love how down to earth your instructions and advice are! Thank you!
I put my crockpot out on my back patio. This prevents my house from heating up and smelling up the house too.
I remember my grandmother and Mom used to use lard in their pie crusts, and it was delicious. I don't have allergies, but anything made with lard gives me terrible heartburn that butter and shortening don't . I use avocado oil for almost everything, and sometimes olive oil. I think everything in moderation is key. If lard works for you, great., I don't have a problem with anyone using it. Thanks for the education about lard. Baby boy is sooooooo precious ! tfs 🥰🌵🏜️❣️💕💞💗💖💘💝🥰🌵🏜️❣️💕💞💗💖💘💝
I know that math! Haha! Other than teaching our children to know and love the Lord, homeschooling has been the second best rewarding thing we have ever done for our children!
My niece was highly allergic to whey and peanuts when she was child. She pretty much out grew it. Not the deadly scare it use to be.
I totally get this because my hubby was diagnosed with Celiac disease and I had to learn to bake GF and read a lot of labels!!!
Thanks for sharing!
You truly have a beautiful family!
Cracklings great with fried potatoes and onions. YUM
When I was growing up on a small farm my mother used the oven method. She would fill a roaster with the cut up chunks of fat and put it in the oven on a medium heat for a few hours. Then she would drain most of the melted fat into a large stock pot that already had about 1/3 of the pot with water. She would continue to drain off fat ever couple hours until the cracklins were nice and crunchy then she would get the stock pot going to a low boil stirring periodically to mix oil and water. The water helped to remove the impurities from the hot lard which would sink down to the bottom of the pot in the water. This also removed any of that pork smell that might remain that you referenced. She would label the fat off the top leaving the last quarter inch or so which she would just let cool off on the water. Once solidified it could easily be cut in half to be removed and cut into smaller pieces to be put into the lard crock by the stove.
Oh my word. It just warmed my heart so much when Grace was wearing Benjie and then so sweetly transferred him from her carrier to yours and helped you buckle yours. What a sweet and tender moment, I almost cried ♥️♥️
This was very informative. My family and I just purchased half a pig this past fall and we have a bag of leaf fat that needs to be rendered. Thank you for sharing!
Great video, very informative. Dont know how you stay so calm. It takes a lot of organization to do what you do.
ENJOYING your informative videos. THANKS SO MUCH.
Thank you so much, you are inspiring me so much Jessica. I have really enjoyed watching many of your videos. Thank you 🙏
My family likes to bake the cracklins in cornbread. The cracklin cornbread goes really good with vegetable soup!
Thank you! I was just wondering how to do this. I figured you’d have knowledge of this! Man how I pray the day we can buy a homestead comes soon!
