We make lard over a fire in a big kettle. We never freeze it, just store in a lard can in a cool place. The jar I'm using, I store in the fridge just to keep it fresh and handy. <br />Thanks!<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-29811310759426633232011-11-07T21:21:16.781-06:002011-11-07T21:21:16.781-06:00dr momi I usually throw in about 1/2 a cup.dr momi I usually throw in about 1/2 a cup.the canned quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161381921874364319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-15495628621636807012011-11-07T18:31:04.012-06:002011-11-07T18:31:04.012-06:00Thank-you for this.
