Ok, back to the carnitas process....all the fat was cut into cubes and placed in pot with about a gallon of water to help it start rendering. The water will steam off later. We only got about 20 lbs of unrendered fat. Lards on its way....

Starting to render. It is milky looking because water is still in it. A side note...being it was about 100* today no one wanted to tend the fire, so we fired up the gas burner.

Nearly done. The lard takes on a golden color. The stir stick was made from a hand carved 2x4. It has cooked 50 pigs or so. Sorry for the pic, between sun coming through to trees, pig fat and beverages some times it was tough to get a good picture.

Thanks gtr, this is at my nephew in laws house. The whole process it kinda hard on lawns and I like my lawn to be perfect. Here is the master at work (my nephew in law ). He is stiring the rendering lard, it takes a couple hours of constant stiring or it will burn. My guess is he has done somewhere around 1000 pigs in his life.

Finally we have lard, the pic makes it look darker then it actually is. The strainer helps keep it clean. This needs to be done for storage. But we are not storing it yet.....

The mantacitas, what's left over after rendering the lard. I think the south calls this pork cracklins? They are hard and crunchy. Little bits of happiness.

Here is the money shot for the day. Pork cracklin taco with home made pickled jalepeno. Sorry, but that's it for today. The pig was cut up into shoulder size roasts and will be slow cooked in lard tomorrow. More pics to follow for that. Any question?

Yikes, that looks amazing! That certainly puts to shame the carne asada tacos I'm going to cook tonight.

Thanks for sharing - can't wait for the next installment!
