Caryn Fisher replied to Mother Linda's discussion Where to find organic lard"There are videos on you tube on how to make your own lard. It's possible to buy organic fat and make lard in your crock pot. It seems like organic fat is easier to find than the organic lard."

Bulgarian Christmas cookie made with lard
Bulgarian Maslenki
These jam-filled Bulgarian Christmas cookies are a child’s delight. In Bulgaria, they are traditionally made with lard, but you can substitute butter if you wish. Find the best lard you can, unhydrogentated and organic is best.
This recipe makes a beautifully pliable dough that doesn’t spread while baking, so you can place the cookies very close together on the baking sheet.…

Linda, Thank you! No, I don't have a good source in Albuquerque, NM. Do you know of any? I was going to order 1.5 lbs from St., Mankato, MN, but it's pretty pricey. Please let me know. I want to make some biscochitos for Christmas this year.
Thank you, Beverly

Mikki Coburn said… Beware of those restaurant tamales! I'm most certain they use the cheapest oil they can find and do not make them traditionally with lard like days of old. I live in SoCal and homemade tamales are offered all over town especially this time of year and they claim their vegetarian ones have no animal fat at all which means, canola or soy bean oil probably. Vegetarian tamales are just not right! I suppose somebody does vegan ones as well; can't imagine how bad those taste! Soooo, I have bought a tamale steamer, made my own lard and also have purchased lard on line and have made my own tamales. The masa is soooo tender and soooo good. If I was a brave, confrontational soul, I'd ask our Mexican friends here in town why they have abandoned the use of lard and that they should offer some tamales that are made with lard. They could do both, some tough, tasteless tamales using bad for you veggie oil, and some tasty tender tamales using lard and meat, but alas.....lard has such a bad rep! Maybe if they changed the name? ;-)

Timothy Bowling said… Thanks, I was hoping for a source in Indianapolis, but since I made the initial request, I have come across Claus German Sausage and Meats on Shelby St. in Indianapolis. They have lard on their website. They are closed now for vacation, but as soon as they open, I will go there to find out if their lard is non hydrogenated and/or organic. Will let you know.

Daphne C. Mitchell said… The recipe is from the Grits magazine's "The Lard Cookbook," so I don't want to violate copyright. Still, the cookbook is very inexpensive on Amazon and includes a years free subscription to Grit magazine.
So far, I'm liking their recipes.

David Maren, TenderGrassFarm.com said… Hello there,
Our farm here in Floyd is just about exactly 5 hours from DC, about 45 minutes southwest of Roanoke. We'd love to have you come by for a visit if you're even in the area!
Also - thank you so much for adding us to your "Resources" page. Any chance I could have put an email address on there as well just in case? The best one would be info@TenderGrassFarm.com.
And thirdly - could you give me some info about pricing for pastured pork leaf lard? I really have know idea where are prices stand compared to other folks.
Thanks again!
-David
