A couple of weeks ago we got out the deer suet we'd put in the freezer when the Man was cutting up the deer he'd hunted this winter.
Chopped it up rather finely and put it into this big pot with a little bit of water to keep it from burning until some of the fat could render out. The water just cooks off during the process.
The final tallow after straining out the cracklings which got fed to the chickens. The tallow turns nice and white when cooled.
I saw a recipe for tallow body balm on Pinterest that looks like a good one to try!
