To Render Fat

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove the tough outer skin and lean parts from the fat.

  2. Cut the fat into small pieces.

  3. Place the fat in a saucepan and cover it with cold water.

  4. Heat the saucepan uncovered until most of the water evaporates.

  5. Once the water is nearly gone, let the fat cook slowly until the scraps are shriveled at the bottom.

  6. Strain the fat through a cloth and let it cool.
