    So I live in the Netherlands and found your channel yesterday. I stayed up watching one after another video. Nothing but aw! You are living my dream. Alaska is so far away from where I am. It's another world that I have never seen and I doubt I ever will. It's so beautiful, wide, lonely, green or white. I wish I could smell the nature thru the screen. I have a lot of respect for how you guys life and built en enjoy. Amazing beauty in it. The flowers you pick to make tea, the berries and mushrooms. Even the washing looks like it's real work, honest and real. I LOVE it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life with all of us. Maybe I will never visit Alaska, at least I can daydream a bit more about with lively pictures in my mind. Thank you. Keep it up and much much blessings to both of you, the dogs, the cats and over all your propirty.

    If you put the rendered fat as you did in clean pot add water and heat the “brown stuff” in the fat will settle as it cools and fat gets hard. Pour off the water and heat again. Doing this “whitens” the fat and decreases flavor. Then heat and put in jars! At least that is how I used to do on a kerosene wood stove back in the mid 70s!! (I am in my 80’s now)!! Keep up the videos...I enjoy them emensly an brings back good memories!!

      Hi Betpat, I need a little more info please! :) I rendered my very first pork fat a while ago and it's white, but slightly has some flavor to it. Since my lard is very white, will this still work for my lard. Also, I assume that once cooled.. JUST water pours off? The lard will all stayed separated? You referred to the "fat" hardening, I thought the lard was the fat. Help me please! lol

      lynn last well, I guess the water is at the bottom once the lard (indeed the fat) is cooled. But because the brow bits sink to the bottom, they will be in the water, so you throw them out when you get rid of the water. I’m not sure about your first question though.

    When I was a boy on the farm in Arkansas my granny rendered lard in a huge round iron pot outside over a wood fire. Papa butchered the hog. My job was to slop the hogs daily. I was raised on delicious lard biscuits, pork chops and plenty of garden goodies. Fresh farm food is the best. Stay strong.

    a trick for starting your lard is to use a little water in the bottom of the pan. it allows the fat to heat without scorching. the water evaporates out in the rendering process. just like the water which naturally occurs in pig fat.

    For the canning commenters out there: please try not to judge these two for living their own lives - not just because we shouldn't be so judgy, but also because their decision is backed up by science. No I am not saying that we all should can this much zucchini bread, nor am I saying that the National Center for Home Food Preservation is wrong. In short, many canning guidelines are (for good reason!) incredibly strict and are intended to protect those who live modern, busy, distracted lifestyles. By putting in place systems and practices to store and eat food well below spoilage temperatures and times @SimpleLivingAlaska plays within the rules of food safety under their conditions. I have researched primary literature on canning recently and encourage readers to check out Lake, et al (1985), Aroumoni, et al (1994), and Tarkhashvili (2015). Specific to this video are 3 specific observations 1) non-inoculated (i.e., not intentionally infected) breads did not have clostridium growth after 90 days at ~95 degrees F 2) Clostridium growth and toxin production even after intentional inoculation with vegetative cells (not present in cooked materials) is incredibly low below 50 F, but much higher at room temperature. 3) High-volume canning (i.e., gaining experience) and eating goods within 6 months correlates with reduced botulism. They are experienced in appropriate methods, and are storing these below 50 F for less than 6 months.

    Glad to see some young folks keeping the old skills alive. Lard is great for cooking. It has 20 percent less saturated fat than butter; it's also higher in monounsaturated fats, which are good for cardiovascular health. Lard is also rich in oleic acid, the same fatty acid that is in olive oil and praised for its health benefits

    I've been making bread this way for many years. Cranberry, zucinni and pumpkin. Concerns over botulism are addressed by the fact that the bread bakes at 375f for about 30 minutes. More carry-over time will also contribute to processing. Just as the video described, remove jars one at a time to seal. That is more heat and processor time than botulism can survive.

    I used to put sheep fat (a 2 year old is best) into a large baking dish, put it in the over on 375 F put it in the middle shelf, and no need to cut the fat first and don't add anything but fat to the pan, a small amount of meat is okay if you don't have the time to remove every bit off the fat. Wait until the fat in the oven becomes liquid, you will won't every window in the kitchen open while you do this, pour the fat liquid into an enamel dish (more than one dish) or a small roasting dish, make sure it will fit in your fridge and your freezer. When the dish is full of hot liquid fat, place it in the fridge until it is set firm, then place it in the freezer until the fat is hard, over night is best, then bang the dish on the bench to loosen the fat and place the fat in a plastic bag, seal it and put it back in the freezer until you need it for cooking, I take the bag outside and drop it on the concrete to break it into pieces for cooking, this fat will keep for 2 years in the freezer, when cooking with it pour any leftover from the frypan into a metal camping cup and place it in the fridge for next time. we always had mutton fat, 2 year old sheep, and we where slim and healthy, then we moved to Australia and it was the in thing to cook with oil, now we are fat and sick and now our Doctor tells us, "Your liver can not process oil of any kind including olive or coconut oil so go back to using animal fat" since we did that we have started to loose a bit of weight but still have a long way to go.

    So you guys should make your own vanilla, with vodka and vanilla beans. You can order the vanilla beans from amazon i think. You split the vanilla beans, put about 6 beans in a bottle of vodka and shake it about once or twice a week for 3 months and it’s ready to use. You can then pour the vanilla off into another bottle for use and reuse the same vanilla beans for another batch of vanilla. I’m thinking you can use those same beans over and over and maybe just add in one fresh bean to keep the flavor up after a few batches or so. I’m sure this is not anything new out there, but when we learned about it we won’t use any other kind of vanilla now. Anyway, i sure do love your videos, we live in Ketchikan and it’s so wet here gardening is very challenging for us, but i do love watching you guys do all the stuff! 😘 thanks for all the great content!

    I have been rendering lard for 5 yrs FYI it is really helpful to add 1/2 cup water when you start as it will stop your fat from catching on and turning color and it will evaporate when your fat gets done and will be snow white just thought i would give you this information , Love your videos

    Wow I never knew you could can bread!! Don't throw away those cracklings; they make wonderful crackling cornbread and they're good for flavoring your beans and soups. I like to use crackling for my collard greens or string beans when smoked ham hocks and smoked neck bones aren't on sale at the market. You can freeze them and they will store 6 months or if you vacuum seal them they will store even longer. They also make great gravy. Thanks for sharing the recipe :-)

We made our own sour dough bread, damper bread and we made fry bread like a dounut bread without sugar in it. We made our own butter and lived off our farm. I am 65 years of age and it's great to see a lot of young people doing what come natural to us when we were growing up.

    USDA no longer approves of baking bread in a jar, but we've done it for years successfully. We began with a "Kerr Canning and Freezing" book recipe from the 70s for Pumpkin Bread which is still our favorite of all breads and cakes we've baked in jars. I'm sure that the vintage book can be found in libraries or in used books online.
    We can open jars that are literally several years old and they are still as moist and fragrant as when they were baked. Over time, we've modified the recipe slightly to add nuts and raisins and use brown rather than white sugar. So good :) The best jars for baking bread, however, are the Ball 24oz jars that are tall with straight sides and no shoulder so the bread is easy to remove.

Everything is rubbed on a coarse grater, meat or fish is better in frozen form. Potatoes plus an additive, half and half, add an egg of 2-5 pieces, a little flour, salt, mix. Cooking like pancakes. Good luck.

    In addition to a little water to start, you can clean the lard quite a bit by boiling it with PLENTY of water, let the whole pot cool and solidify, pull the disk of lard out, flip it, scrape the bottom and dispose of the gnarly water. repeat as many times as you care to, or until the water stays clean. the lard usually gets white enough for me after 2-3 rounds. Then do one last melt/boil off to dry out your cleaned lard and store.
