I picked up the pork yesterday and got it in the freezer. This morning Ken roasted bones for stock and rendered the lard. He got it all in the jars for me.
Many people have a negative attitude about lard. Lard like all animal fat will contain toxins when the animal has been fed or exposed to toxins - they are stored in the fat. BUT fat from animals fed a natural, non-toxic diet and that are outside in sunlight, contains high levels of vitamins A, D, E & K. This is in marked contrast to hydrogenated and denatured fats which irritate arteries and stimulate the body to increase cholesterol production.
