Any questions? I’m going to hang around in the comments for the next 30 min or so. If not I’ll try and read comments this late evening. Working on recording the next video this afternoon!
Your grinder is awesome, the bogging down is when the lard gets too warm
@@sarah082177 thank yon great to know! Maybe we could cut and pop the fat back into the freezer.
Absolutely loved watching and the whole time you were rendering that lard I was thinking wow how lucky!!! And then I thought that would make amazing fried chicken and biscuits!! 😂 You never disappoint! We got a brisket once that had sooo much fat on it I cut off all the incredible white fat and I rendered it down. I wasn’t sure what exactly I was doing but it turned into a beautiful white in the jars and I just stored in the fridge until I was ready to use it. My way of thinking is waste not want not. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
I’m so glad you were able to use that leaf lard, sweetheart. Wow, you got over 5 gallons! That’s amazing. I’m gonna have to come over for fried chicken one of these days. Ha!
It’s crazy I’m so blessed by you thank you so much!
@@modernhomesteadalaska you are very welcome my beautiful friend.
I am so jealous lol.
@modernhomesteadalaska. I am so happy for you, the Lard and the chicks. I asked the meat market about the fat, and they wanted an arm and a leg.
What a nice gift from Chrystal. Dinner sure looked yummy 😋
💕💕💕
It really is! She is a blessing to me in many ways
Hi Jessica, Aaron and sweet family! Such cute chicks.
Aaron, I hope your hand doesn’t cramp cutting all that up.
I remember we always had hog killing the day after Thanksgiving as long as it was cold enough to hang in the smokehouse. The next day was making homemade sausage and then the next day rendering lard.
I didn’t have a grinder and hand cut into little pieces to render.
When I was a kid my grandmother and mother had a huge cast iron pot that went on the fire to render the lard down. They stirred the lard with a long handled paddle that my great grandfather made years before that.
Crackling cornbread with a pot of pinto beans and fried potatoes, green vegetables on the side.
Fried chicken was always a Sunday meal with gravy and biscuits.
Good job Jessica and Aaron, I’m so happy for you.
Have a blessed night everyone!
Love it! I want a spoon with history like that! That’s amazing! I love the family work together stories
It's great to see Aaron more often in the videos!
Oh my goodness that’s beautiful leaf lard . I see pie crusts, biscuits, cookies, doughnuts, fried chicken yummy food . Very time consuming but worth it. The regular lard looks like what we save from frying bacon 🥓 when I have the time I soak my chicken in buttermilk before I fry it , like my mama in Kentucky did . Milk gravy and biscuits the best ! Thank you 🌸🦋🌸
Agree so much baking in this kitchen
Hope we get to see some of it ! 😋
Another great video, I love watching you two work together. Aaron, I love your blooper and how it shows your true personality. Nice to see the family around the dinner table, at this rate you may need a larger table soon. Blessings
Thank you Judy he is a funny guy
Good evening to all. Liked our visit. Both of my grandmothers used lard, but my mom…not so much. I have used it a few times. Loving the baby chicks. Take care and I’ll see you at our next visit. ❤ Momma G
Thank you momma G! It’s such yummy stuff! If you come across any. Baby chicks are the best part of spring
I'm new to your channel and I can't tell you how much I enjoy your content. I have been to Alaska twice, once with my husband and then again with my adult son and I fell in love with the state so much so that I would love to go again! The absolute beauty in the place just leaves me actually speechless. Your channel showing the day to day of living there just serves to whet my appetite for a third trip there and that fried chicken and biscuits has me drooling down here today in not so sunny SoCal! :)
Oh wow first WELCOME’ so happy you are spending time with us! You are so kind, and yes it’s beyond d breath taking to live here
@@modernhomesteadalaska I would seriously consider moving up there, but I don't know if my soon to be 73 year old bones could handle the cold up there! i live in Orange county southern California and when the weather gets down into the 50's here I'm reaching for my winter jacket!! :)
@@ArleneSibert oh yeah we get much colder here. It’s hard to make that sort of shift
I have seen on another channel that a way to help clean the grinder is to put a slice of bread through it when the meat is finished
Nice good to know. It cleans super easy I was shocked actually
"Someone's going to agree in the comments and your feelings are going to be hurt.." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ahhh we waited all day for someone to catch it!
Nice to see Aaron in the videos! Aaron found a treasure in you Jessica and you found a treasure in Aaron! Together you rock it and all of us out here in CZcams land get to enjoy some wonderful videos! Keep them coming cause we love you guys! Hugs from Iowa!
Thank you that’s so very kind
Hahaha, Aaron teasing Kodi right off the hop really had me laughing!!😂 cute baby chicks! What's the grand total now? Love that you were able to use your gift! And what a gift that was!
Thank you Crystal for blessing these wonderful people! Your Bosche did amazing! I honestly think that the first time I've ever seen anyone use a different attachment for that machine. It's pretty cool. Your Sunday meal looked amazing 👏 yum! Take good care, Milnes fam. See you next time 😊
Oh love it so much fun and blessing on this one.
Love the new look to channel and hubby more involved, wish ye all the luck in the world,from Ireland 🇮🇪 x
Thank you for noticing that’s so kind!
What a find for the lard. The chicken and biscuits look delicious.
Huge blessing for up here not yo many pig farmers!
Such a wonderful gift you were given. Baby chicks always welcome site in spring. Very nice to see with the family having a southern fried chicken meal.😊
Huge blessing! I’m still giddy about it!
We are a homesteading family in North Eastern Washington State and just found your channel. You guys are great and your content is amazing and has given us some great ideas. Definitely gained a new subscriber. We rendered over 100lbs of bear fat this last fall so definitely understand what you guys went thru..lol.
Wow first WELCOME! So happy you decided to spend time with us.
My late mother in law cooked with lard. It made the best biscuits and crispy fried chicken
Agree nothing else quite like it
Thanks for sharing. We never saw such a procedure done. Regarding lard, we haven’t used it quite a while. Larry’s grandmother used it and got it free at the butcher shop. This was amazing. Thank you.
I love that! So much fun on this one.
Go on Aaron.. chief taster… loved this video Jess, there really is no limits to what you guys do, that fried chicken looked so good, I put 10lbs on just watching lol, nice to see the snow is finally making way for spring, hope your all well, as always sending you lots of best wishes, Lorraine .. Wales 🏴 U.K xx
Wow thank you that’s so kind
@@modernhomesteadalaska 😘😘
Awww those baby chicks are super cute and Aaron is pretty funny. (Blooper at the end)
So funny thank you
😂😂 "Somebody's gonna agree in the comments and your feelings are gonna be hurt." 😂😂 That was hilarious! Awesome video, thank you for sharing!
So much of what y'all do brings back memories of my childhood. My grandpa raised hogs, so i remember the days of processing them and rendering lard, making sausage and what we call Scrapple, it's kind of a regional thing. Anyway, loved the video. Take care! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much. I love the stories of the old ways, trying to bring the skills back to life
@@modernhomesteadalaska y'all are doing a wonderful job with carrying on those traditions and adding a little bit of a modern twist to things. I truly appreciate you and channels like yours, for that. I learn something new from every episode.🙏🏻💜
My grandma used cracklings finely chopped up, in focaccia bread.
Oh yummy!
Hi sweet one! You cant use anything tastier in biscuits and dough than lard! My Mom always used lard and said there is no good substitute for it. It does take a lot of work to render it, but so worth it! Your dinner looked amazing! Tell Kodi she looks so great!! Big hugs and many blessings!
So agree! It’s a beautiful ingredient for sure! Thanks for hanging out with us!
Great meal can't hardly beat it. Nice feast enjoy thanks for sharing
You got that right!
The lard look so nice.. and dinner ( with the secret spices for the fried chicken looked delicious).. thanks for sharing
lol they are just regular spices!
Looks like a three day job rendering all that fat. Big job! Yous will have lard,for several years. Nice gift from your friend. It just amazes me how much yous do,and are so knowledgeable about so many things. Jessica you and Aaron are great teachers for people like me,who have know idea how to run a homestead.but enjoy your videos,and learning how things are done.and your great cooking tips.🙏🏻❤️
Oh my goodness you made me blush! That was so very very kind! Thank you
blu sees Lil chickens as chicken nuggets lol
I so appreciate that you showed us the process of rendering the lard. I would love to do that one day, and have it on hand to cook with! Loved the seasoning of cast iron lesson. Another yummy meal from the homestead. Aaron is so funny! God bless you all!
Thank you so much. It turns out it was one of the first homestead skills I learned and truly one of the simplest
good job on the tallow. It'll come in handy over the year.
Thanks Bill
Love that you are getting your nails done again. They look great
Oh wow thank you I needed a girls day and to get out of the house. So Kodie and I went
I haven't seen anyone render lard in years. Will you make cracklin corn bread? The baby chick's so cute. You are one busy lady. Blessings girl.
I never heard of crackling corn bread! Until now! So next time 1000% it’s happening
The chicks are sweet.The lard is amazing .Thanks for the video. 🇨🇦

I hope you use some of the cracklings. They can be scrambled into eggs and made into crunchy cookies.
Love it yummy!
I love watching you guys. Your hair is absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much!!
Great video. I just scored another 12 pounds of pork fat to render down. Your supper looked so good…oh yum. 🇨🇦🌷
Great video!

I bet them cracklings are wonderful to eat in cornbread
I just learned of this today

They love it!
This was a great teaching video . Loved it !
I don't like homemade biscuits but those look delicious
So yummy!
those biscuits looked good
Great video today. I learned a lot. Thanks. Take care✌️🇺🇸
Thank you for coming along.
It is amazing the color difference. So glad you told us where it came from because we haven't seen her pigs in videos lately. Why did you not keep some frozen for mixing into your game meat?
We will the next time for sure.
Outstanding job guys 👍!😇!😇!
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Hello Friend !
Hello my friend
1x we let chicken soak over night in buttermilk I can't remb why but man itwas good
Love it!
Beautiful family ❤❤
Thank you
Yummmmmmm!!!!!!
💚
🎉🎉🎉
❤
I never had a rooster. So when one or two of my hens would go broody I would get live chicks. And at night I would trade my broody hens eggs with chicks. My hens would then raise my chicks.
That’s such a great idea!
I love your videos. Do you have your sealer that you use for Mylar bags listed somewhere? I would love to get one like it
Yes we do here you go avidarmor.com
Y'all don't eat cracklin cornbread we do in Georgia. I love Crystal and Goat man.
Never heard of it until now! Doing it next time
omg cute looks like sunglasses or Lil mask lol
lol yes! Kodie said she had wing eyeliner! Love it
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
your fried chicken looks great! can you let use know how you batter and cook?
Sure I’ll try and type it out
I must’ve missed the stairwell build to the basement. Dang.
Yes I’m so happy with it. That deck and the access to the basement are both amazing additions
Hopefully you gave the cracklins to your chickens. ????
You know that if you put a wet washcloth under your cutting board it won’t slip around. Js
Yes we had todo that a couple min in! You are so right
I would eat them witj lots of butter and blackberry jam
Yummy love jam on all things

Shoot i haven't washed my cast iron in years lol. I think it would react like a cat if i put it in water😂😂😂
Ahhh lol I love it!
Do you make ‘Cracklins”,a Lard/ Bacon bit mix as I see it in a local store but never tried it myself?
Do u use the rags that you strain the lard with for fire starters? I heard someone say it was a great way to use cotton rags after you’ve strained lard because it’s so hard to get the grease out that they just make terrific fire starters. Just curious if you’ve ever used them for that or thought of that?
I don’t use them as a fire starter. But I only use one old rag and I just use it over and over until the lard is gone. It gets destroyed
Why don't you you use self rising flour? Love your channel! I been watching since you began.
Love it thank you so much. Mostly storage! I store so many flours and grains and just never actually learned to use it. Great question and thank you for the faithful support
Jessica is that your bosh mixer?
Yes that’s crazy how many attachments they have
Wait ! What seasoning do you use???
lol nothing special, like garlic and onion powder super basic season. It was just funny.
Hey Jessica, I’ve never used lard before, since yours is pork lard will it taste like pork? Or make the things you use it in taste like pork? Thanks for sharing your process, I wanna try this myself. Also I don’t have a wood cook stove so when drying my cast iron pan should I heat it up a little bit on my gas stovetop?
Yes dry on your stove as soon as they barely start to see smoke come off the pan it’s dry
Also lard does not taste like pork, it does however have a flavor, very mild in comparison to beef fat or any other animal like a red meat fat. Thanks for watching
@@modernhomesteadalaska ok ty
what did you do with the cracklings
Chickens
Frozen lard is SO much easier to grind
Yes it’s partially frozen but thawing quickly for sure!
.
Hey Jessica I’ve been vacuum sealing thing and stocking up on foods etc but I went vaccum seal chicken breast and I patted them dry but the sealer kept sucking a boat load of juice and it would never seal , what did I do wrong ?
What sealer do you have? And did you put moist on the setting?
@@modernhomesteadalaska off hand I can’t remember ther brand right now I’m not at my house but I didn’t even know you could change the setting
@@modernhomesteadalaska it’s a food saver
@@kellygriffiths2068 yes make sure it’s on moist even the wet setting
@@modernhomesteadalaska thanks I really didn’t know there were diff settings
No no don't deep fry the little chick. lol😅
Ahhh lol
Do you ever use moose fat?
Nope never had the chance yet!
Omg , lol what do you do with so much Lard ?
Bake baby bake
So when is the grand kids coming
I can’t wait for that day!
Well it looks like some day it may happen soon
@@robertas3578 we are trying to get them married first! lol but we don’t get to decided any of it any way.
