Me and the little woman have been married 40 years, both raised in the country and don’t miss one of your videos. We caned deer this year and now we are going to can pork, make Lard and make chicken stew!!! We watch your videos then look at each other and say let’s do that or let’s make that 😊. May the Lord bless you and your family throughout the holidays!!!!
People need to understand that this is your grocery store when u butcher and can and frreze it. The way of life. God bless and thank you for helping all of us to learn things .
We live basically the same way yall do,with one exception,canning meat. Our New Year goal, is to get outside our comfort zone and try it,when we process our Spring meatbirds. Love your videos. Praying for your family, during these first holidays, without your Dad.
My grandmother loved to can meat also. She would say if someone stopped by to visit you didn’t have to worry about what to serve she could just enjoy the company ❤
Absolutely loved this video. I actually just called the slaughter house just 6 miles from my house and they have leaf lard. I'll buy 5 pounds for my first time rendering it. Thank you my heart for encouraging me to do this.
I made some for the first time this summer. Made the mistake of processing too much at one time. I had the burner on low, but it took a long time because of the quantity. It came out white but has a pork odor. Will use it for cooking, but not baking. The amount Meagan is doing is what I'll do next time. Best of luck!
@sandysmith8567 thank you. I'll probably just do it in my crock pot. I've read that it can be done. Am so anxious to try. I want it for biscuits and pie crusts.
That's the way you're supposed to do it woman that is good to hear I used to raise pigs in 84 and 85 I had a bunch of them God bless you and you and your family have a blessed day
We love your videos! We live in a small farming community near Monroe NC. After watching your video about rendering leaf fat, we got some from a neighbor pig farmer. My wife ground the fat in our meat grinder and rendered it in the slow cooker. We got snow white lard that we are so happy with. I cooked a pot of rice tonight. I rinsed and drained the rice and fried it in lard before boiling it. The frying lard was so clean smelling and the rice came out perfect. Thanks so much for educating us on the old ways.
I love using my crockpot for rendering lard . It's nice cause you don't have to stir it just keeps it at the perfect temperature without direct heat and the cracklings turn out great too
All my grandparents, great aunts etc fried up tenderloin & canned it in some grease. To heat up they'd just open a jar & put it in a small pot of water to heat up, right in the jar, fresh biscuits & eggs & breakfast was done. Yummy
I love your way of thinking about not using the grinder! I render beef fat and have thought about grinding it but your comments about cleaning a greasy grinder made perfect sense!!! Love your show and eagerly wait new ones!!
That was intereting. My relatives used to do that same thing many years ago, but I was so young i wasn't able to understand exactly what was happening. That chicken stew looks so delicious I could eat the whole pot. I enjoy watching. Thank you Megan.
I have a metal ring with holes all through it it's about 1/2 inch thick that I put underneath my pots on a propane stove used to use them on the camper all the time they work great so you can go lower😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
You are basically making chicken and dumplins, without the dumplins. That's the way I make chicken and dumplins, except the thickener you made. The flour on the dumplins thickens the broth and chicken mixture, when making chicken and dumplins. Love your videos. Now I have to make some...Yum.
Made chicken and dumplings the other day. My kids love them so much there is never any left when we leave the table. The dumplings are their favorite. 12 grandkids and 6 grown kids , they can put it away.😮
This channel reminds me of papapa & my pama yrs ago. Luv your cookin and oks school skills. I had healthy up bringing just like these kitchen skeels 🐟🎣👊
I have canned pork, but it is one thing I haven't used much except to make bbq sandwiches out of it. For pork tacos do you just warm it up in your cast iron skillet with taco seasoning and that's it? I really need to try it. In my freezer I cut the fat off the pork butt or shoulder I got at the store and I plan to make lard from that. I know it isn't as good as what you are using, but I figured it was a way to use most of what I had gotten.
Pork stew is really yummy. Just cook your potatoes, carrots, onions, peas, and squash (if you like) in a little water before adding the canned meat with its broth. Let simmer for a bit. I use garlic, onion powder, thyme, s/p and a little flour slurry to thicken if it needs it. You could add some chicken broth if you like more of a gravy in your stew.
new subscriber! Hello, wow - you guys took this 71yr old man back home today!! Watching you render the fat had me remembering Granny's cookin, and I'd really like to see you make up some cornbread sage dressing!!!!!!
❤Hello precious lady. Totally love watching you in the kitchen. Something in your alls videos almost always takes my memories back to happier times…like hearing your pressure cooker brought a clear visual of Mama in her kitchen. She pressured a lot. Also she dearly loved tenderloin biscuits. I’m not sure where they came from but once in awhile she would have some cracklings and she would make Crackling bread. The only canned meat I guess I’ve ever eaten was canned sausage and the dried beef that comes in little jars in the grocery stores. We had creamed chipped beef over toast once in awhile. This time of year always makes me nostalgic. It should be one of the most joyous seasons yet there’s always a sense of sadness that always seem to follow it. We need to get back to what Christmas is all about and lighten up on some of this commercialism. It’s just gotten so out of hand. You, Andy and your family have the right idea. I wish I had had children and especially a daughter like you. God bless. Love and prayers to you all. 🙏🏻❤️🎄🎁
Thanks for the lard lesson .I loved your channel. I've been busy this summer, and I have not been watching, but the weather is getting colder and time to relax and catch up on your channel .
When I filtered my lard I always use a screen plus I like to use cheesecloth I would be kind of scared to use paper towel because all the chemicals that are in the paper towel goes into your lard probably not harmful but you never know right excellent video as always I love your recipes very yummy I share your channel all the time to my family and friends but I don't think they're all into youtube but they do look at the recipes Just wanna thank you for putting out a video and making my day way better of a day and putting a smile on my face😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
This was so good and full of information. I use lard or butter or olive oil for everything. I buy large tubs of pure lard at the Amish store, but, it would be nice to make my own. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.
It sure was a productive day Megan! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I leaned so much today. I'm saving this video so my daughters and i can put it to practice! Sending love!❤
I always love watching you can the beautiful meals for you family! Slurry tip: put your flour in a mason jar with your liquid and shake shake shake! Never any lumps! God bless & happy holidays my sweet NC sister! ❤
We are processing two hogs this weekend. Have family and friends coming over to make a weekend of it. Good to see others out there keeping these traditions alive. Keep up the great content!
Daddy used to eat his chicken stew over some light bread like that. I had some for supper tonight. I love chicken stew anytime and I bet yours from those home grown chickens is really good. Your lard and canned tenderloin looks great Meagan. I figured y'all killed hogs Saturday as that kind of weather finally got here. Y'all have a great night!
What you doing is a good way to preserve your meat caned sausage is good to and that lard is good food tastes better cooked with it happy canning and God bless yall
Proud of you you got three things going that’s great you are a good one you got beautiful family I never made lard I have canned tenderloin it’s delicious boiled corn corn bread mashed potato maybe slaw but makes great supper after working 12 hours it’s good I love you all those children are so sweet I love the puppy too but you all know what you’re doing just be alert that hot 🥵 love prayers ❤🐖God bless you best 🐶
Lard is much more healthy than vegetable and other unsaturated & saturated oils. Hot cracklings right out of the kettle over the fire are delicious too. Talk about crackling cornbread...yum yum...haute cuisine :.
Meagan I learned a lot about straining the lard to keep the cracklins out! Might not have thought about it. Now I'll need to get some leaf lard & process it. Canned meat is definitely convenience in a jar. You've had a very productive day
Thank you for the good information about the water I've never put water in mine I'll try it next time I love me some lard nice white clear lard love it taste good very good for you not like the lard in the stores which is no good for you😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Stew looks good. I make mine a little bit different by adding carrots potatoes onion celery and season with poultry seasoning. Eat with biscuits. Would love to try yours it looks yummy. God bless 😊
I haven’t ever saw children stew made with thickening and milk. Here where we live that looks more like our chicken and dumplings without the dumplings. I’m sure it would be good though. Just different than what we are used to. Lots of good progress in the kitchen to!
we always used all the fat we could get from hog and make lard. we never serperate any fat it was done as one fat. I never knew there was a difference. thanks for sharing that.
Enjoyed your video Megan. You worked hard and I took my relaxing time to watch you. I grew up in Walnut Cove so my Mama did some of the things you do. The difference is I think she fried or baked chunk tenderloin. And then canned it. When she took the tenderloin out of the jar, she would put it on a baking sheet and bake it. The edges would get crispy and the chunks of tenderlloin were wonderful. That was one of our favorite foods growing up. She would also fry sausage and then can it. It was so good too. Megan - have you ever heard of doing tenderloin or sausage like that? Ask some of your older relatives.
I am 77 years old and have been too nervous to can meat but you made that look really simple. I liked the idea of using chicken thighs for your stew. This past week I baked a whole chicken….after we had a meal and few sandwiches I made chicken soup with carrots, celery, onions and noodles.
You are so efficient and productive with your time and cooking. You get so much accomplished!! Even tho I live in Southern California, I thoroughly appreciate how you all live your lives!! I’m 75 years old from farmland Illinois. Maybe if my dad had not been in the Marines, I would be living on a farm too. Any way, I have lots of memories of being on my aunts and uncles’ farms so I love your homestead family life!❤
Not sure if you filmed this before or after your last video, but glad your cold seems better in this one if this was after! :) I havent made lard in awhile. This inspires me to do it! We have some local places I can get it and also places that sell the leaf fat. Going to call around and check the prices. I canned chicken and sausage for the first time this year. The chicken turned out amazing and so convenient to use in everything to make recipes faster. Sausage is quick and easy to heat and serve! I'll have to try pork now too!
I do like cooking, but you give it a country Love to your cooking I would Love too spend time in your Kitchen 😊😊 Calm down Andy.😂😂 I'll bet that Chicken Soup would be awesome over biscuits. Thank you for the video
Love watching your video's. Thanks for sharing......!!!! The pressure cooker going on in the background takes me back to when my mom canned.... I'm 64 yrs old and my moms been gone since 2017. ❤
Meghan, I just love you... I love your accent, I could listen to you talk all day, and I love your videos they are so informative. Im 61, only been canning for a few yrs. but I'm learnig and lovin it. I have 58 chickens right now, in my book theres no such thing as too many😂. I really want to raise a flock of meat birds to process myself, at least once. I so enjoy homesteading and Im learning so much from you, uou have such a sweet, kind way of sharing your knowledge with the world..., which by the way just blows me away how much you know being sk young. You're truly a sight for sore eyes, would love to see more young ladies living this good lifestyle. I certsinly love it, wish I had started many years ago tho. But Im doing what I can, as I can and lovin every minute of it!!!😊 Thank you so much, I really appreciate all ya do, keep up the great work. Lord willin I'll get to come meet ya one day and hug your neck...I think we'd be great friends!!!❤
Enjoyed watching you render your lard & canning your pork loin. Very interesting. Everyone that has no knowledge of doing this can learn alot about the process. Thank you for bringing us along. Never have done or seen this done before. You're a great teacher. Thank you.
You can melt a little of that lard in the jar and keep the water out. Sometimes it takes a long time to get rid of all those water bubbles. Great content.
Your video was awesome as usual! We just got half a beef and got the fat and bones. Glad I watched your video. It takes the fear out of it now! Have a great day and stay warm!!
Meagan back when we were young and had pigs we done the process just like you all do the old fashion way.i still cook with lard today but I buy it in the store in the 4 pound buckets which lasts me and my husband about three months or longer.i do use Conola oil too.i just love your alls ❤️❤️❤️channel makes me happy to see a new video.
I love the little hand chopper you used to chop up your chicken! Where do you buy one like that! I have arthritis & this looks handy for me! 🥰 I love watching True Grit ❤❤❤
Me and the little woman have been married 40 years, both raised in the country and don’t miss one of your videos. We caned deer this year and now we are going to can pork, make Lard and make chicken stew!!! We watch your videos then look at each other and say let’s do that or let’s make that 😊. May the Lord bless you and your family throughout the holidays!!!!
Oh my. Love some cracklin cornbread with some purple hull peas and onion. Maybe even a spoonful of chow chow.
Now u talking.
CHOW CHOW! With the ONION!That's SUPER OLD SKOOL BABY! I LOVE IT!
Making me hungry
People need to understand that this is your grocery store when u butcher and can and frreze it. The way of life. God bless and thank you for helping all of us to learn things .
You have my husband doing things he hasn't done in years. Glad he found your channel.
We live basically the same way yall do,with one exception,canning meat. Our New Year goal, is to get outside our comfort zone and try it,when we process our Spring meatbirds. Love your videos. Praying for your family, during these first holidays, without your Dad.
You can do it! And thank you so much for the prayers it has been a very emotional season thus far..
only two things i also cook with ,lard and butter, but mainly lard ,double up on the lard if i,m cooking bacon lol,, thats liquid gold xx
That’s the best way to be!
I always learn a little something!!!!!Watching from Portugal
Thank you 🙏
My grandmother loved to can meat also. She would say if someone stopped by to visit you didn’t have to worry about what to serve she could just enjoy the company ❤
Absolutely loved this video. I actually just called the slaughter house just 6 miles from my house and they have leaf lard.
I'll buy 5 pounds for my first time rendering it.
Thank you my heart for encouraging me to do this.
That is AWESOME!! Best of luck to you my friend!!
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays if I can do half as good as you did, I'll feel so good. 😘
Another great informational video. Love watching you and the family.
I made some for the first time this summer. Made the mistake of processing too much at one time. I had the burner on low, but it took a long time because of the quantity.

@sandysmith8567 thank you. I'll probably just do it in my crock pot. I've read that it can be done. Am so anxious to try. I want it for biscuits and pie crusts.
I can pork, beef and chicken. It's a grab and go. Canned ground beef is a dream come true.
That's the way you're supposed to do it woman that is good to hear I used to raise pigs in 84 and 85 I had a bunch of them God bless you and you and your family have a blessed day

Thank you for explaining things enough that I understand exactly what needs to be done.
I learned a lot today. Thank you. Sit down and sit a spell!! You've been working hard! 🙂
Really enjoyed the video Megan, you all stay safe and enjoy getting everyone's hog butchering done. Fred.
I love using my crockpot for rendering lard . It's nice cause you don't have to stir it just keeps it at the perfect temperature without direct heat and the cracklings turn out great too
now that's home cookin'

I've been cooking out lard for 60 yrs and have never seen anyone put water in the pot. I can now say I've seen most things 😂
Such a fun video. I learned a ton!
Love rending lard. I use my crock pot, but either way it's white gold
That was intereting. My relatives used to do that same thing many years ago, but I was so young i wasn't able to understand exactly what was happening. That chicken stew looks so delicious I could eat the whole pot. I enjoy watching. Thank you Megan.

I dont know if I'm the only one but I like hearing the pressure cooker in the background. Its soothing to me. This was a great video
I agree and I also love hearing when the dryer is going in the background... reminds me of home 🥰
You are basically making chicken and dumplins, without the dumplins. That's the way I make chicken and dumplins, except the thickener you made. The flour on the dumplins thickens the broth and chicken mixture, when making chicken and dumplins. Love your videos. Now I have to make some...Yum.
Another great video that is really something how you always make lard out of all that fat . I sure would use it. Thank you for sharing.❤
Love watching the channel !
You can also melt down the fat in a crockpot..works great.. that's how I mostly do my lard... Great channel..
Made chicken and dumplings the other day. My kids love them so much there is never any left when we leave the table. The dumplings are their favorite. 12 grandkids and 6 grown kids , they can put it away.😮

I do enjoy canning meat. Main reason is because it’s so tender. Thank you for sharing 😊
the chicken stew is actually chicken dumplings minus the dumpling my all time favorite dumplings
Your right it is exactly how I make my chicken and dumplings except I don’t make the soup quite as thick with chicken and dumplings

I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Your Dad always made the BEST! Riding horses all day then coming into that at Chris's make me privileged and happy to have been a part of it! ☺️
Lard is much more healthy than vegetable and other unsaturated & saturated oils.
Hot cracklings right out of the kettle over the fire are delicious too. Talk about crackling cornbread...yum yum...haute cuisine :.
Meagan I learned a lot about straining the lard to keep the cracklins out! Might not have thought about it. Now I'll need to get some leaf lard & process it. Canned meat is definitely convenience in a jar. You've had a very productive day
So happy to see you today! Been working on Christmas stuff. Blessings ❤️💚❤️💚
Every time I watch you make something I have to try it. Guess I will have to get some leaf fat tomorrow. Great video.
I canned pork stew it was delicious. Boiled the bone it was the best broth I've ever ever tasted.
I so appreciate, Megan. ❤
I love canning meats ! Nice and tender and convenient. That Backwoods home magazine is great. Always look forward to your videos. Take care .
Thank you for the good information about the water I've never put water in mine I'll try it next time I love me some lard nice white clear lard love it taste good very good for you not like the lard in the stores which is no good for you😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

I am old school i used a black cast iron skillet for renderd the lard
Thanks for the video!
I did enjoy watching this always learn alot!😊
You know my grandma said the and did the same thing. I loved when she would go downstairs and come up with supper. 😊
Hi Megan, rural N. NV here. Wife and I can up too, never done lard. Next project? Keep it country sister.
I see some crackling cornbread in your future 🤤

Enjoyed watching you render your lard & canning your pork loin. Very interesting. Everyone that has no knowledge of doing this can learn alot about the process. Thank you for bringing us along. Never have done or seen this done before. You're a great teacher. Thank you.
Love the accent very easy to listen to!
I was afraid to can meat when I first started canning. Now, I think it is the easiest thing to can and I have done most meats. Haven't done fish yet.
You can melt a little of that lard in the jar and keep the water out. Sometimes it takes a long time to get rid of all those water bubbles. Great content.
Honestly that is brilliant and I have never thought to do that!! Thank you!!!
Very well done. Both the cooking and your video editing. Thank you for sharing.
Your video was awesome as usual! We just got half a beef and got the fat and bones. Glad I watched your video. It takes the fear out of it now! Have a great day and stay warm!!
Thank you. Really appreciate the information
Delightful!!❤❤🙏🙏xxoo
You made me hungry again Megan!
Seen my mother in law make lard from a wild hog one time it turn out good.😀
How about using a ladel to get the liquid? How about a coffee filter in the strainer... slotted spoon out the cracklin the ladel???
Crackling good in beans
Our kitchen has the same cabinetry, hardware and even the same tile backsplash.
Meagan back when we were young and had pigs we done the process just like you all do the old fashion way.i still cook with lard today but I buy it in the store in the 4 pound buckets which lasts me and my husband about three months or longer.i do use Conola oil too.i just love your alls ❤️❤️❤️channel makes me happy to see a new video.
Truly enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing. ❤

I love the little hand chopper you used to chop up your chicken! Where do you buy one like that! I have arthritis & this looks handy for me! 🥰 I love watching True Grit ❤❤❤
I do my lard in the crock pot. It works wonderful
