Re: Lard: Fat of the future

I would be surprised if lard sold for home use was

Look closely at the label of a box of Armour lard and be surprised. IT says "LARD" on the front label, and in tiny print on the back it has the ingredient list which contains (IIRC) lard, partially hydrogenated lard, and BHT.

I have several pounds of beef fat in the freezer, saved from when I cook briskets. I saved it for making soap, but I think I might try some in a pie crust and see how it does.

Best regards,
