We have 5 acres that we have developed from scratch ... okay, are still developing. This may be a life long job :-) I do a blog, but it's by invitation only. If you're interested in following along, just send me your email to janny252525@yahoo.com and I'll hook you up :)<br />Janice and Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906670467851663269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015210738940659943.post-34388429929456583772014-02-12T10:11:44.589-05:002014-02-12T10:11:44.589-05:00Thanks for compliment on the blog.

I'm afraid I can't help there. Your "little island" sounds absolutely wonderful!

I have...Thanks so much for the quick response Pam! I have a bunch of fat from the local (organic) beef we bought last year, and now I'm itching to turn it into tallow! I also have a big bag of local organic pork fat ... can you use the same process for that? We are so incredibly lucky on our little island. We can buy all of our pork, beef and chicken from our neighbours. We have our own goats for milk, cheese, yogurt ... and depending on who arrives in the coming weeks, we may have goat meat in our freezer also in the coming months. Great blog, by the way :-)Janice and Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906670467851663269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015210738940659943.post-43464090281089031242014-02-11T20:36:05.463-05:002014-02-11T20:36:05.463-05:00Hi Janice,

That's merely for convenience, as it's as solid on the counter as it is cold from the fridge.<br />In the summertime, they always have to be chilled, or they'll start to develop mold in a matter of weeks - that could also be from contamination, though. Be sure to always use clean, dry utensils when digging for that solid gold! ;-)<br />Refrigerated, these jars could last up to a year!Pam O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425364255710264714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015210738940659943.post-33070490723526399012014-02-11T20:03:48.708-05:002014-02-11T20:03:48.708-05:00I was wondering how you store these jars after the...I was wondering how you store these jars after their filled with the gorgeous tallow?

Maybe some day I will stumble on such a great freebie. :) I'm dropping by and a new follower from the great blog train. So glad I did. I am totally inspired.

So far, I've just fried eggs and browned some chicken breasts with it, but soon I'm going to try those mozz balls again using tallow instead of coconut oil (remember, I didn't like the sweetness of the coconut oil for the savory fried cheese). I'll also use it when I make cutlets, etc.Pam O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425364255710264714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015210738940659943.post-41007599317284851002013-04-04T22:51:29.475-04:002013-04-04T22:51:29.475-04:00Great Pammie....I learn so much from your postings...Great Pammie....I learn so much from your postings, but I haven't a clue what you plan to do with all this tallow!
