Would you mind tossing out a general idea of how long the jiggler is jiggling? <br /><br />Thanks! <br />TomTomWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398573124082104796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-12230787632240259632013-12-26T15:07:34.477-06:002013-12-26T15:07:34.477-06:00Wow Linda, hope he's staying warm.

Not sure if it reached him or not...hope not!<br />Canning the rendered lard just gives it a longer shelf life. I like to use pint jars or smaller...seems like I can use them up faster.<br />Hope you had a wonderful Christmas too Linda, thanks! :)cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516076315691432589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-59165435262508311672013-12-26T15:04:58.099-06:002013-12-26T15:04:58.099-06:00My gosh Bill that sounds dangerously good! lol Not...My gosh Bill that sounds dangerously good! lol Not sure if I should try it but it's tempting. :)<br />Hope you had a great Christmas..

I love cracklins. Great ...Merry Christmas Jeanie!<br /><br />I love cracklins. Great with a cold beer. <br /><br />Something they do in Germany with that lard. Season with salt, pepper, and spice of choice. Pour into ramekins and put in the fridge to solidify. Serve with roast pork and the trimmings. The fat is used to spread on bread. Very sinful. You must have heart paddles on hand!Three Dogs BBQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847143283779102007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-28845372294928662432013-12-25T09:46:12.343-06:002013-12-25T09:46:12.343-06:00He did an amazing job. :) One of those little gift...He did an amazing job. :) One of those little gifts from above that people don't fully appreciate until they see creeks running full, green pastures "horse belly high" or batches of morels popping out of the ground in the spring.<br />Thanks Chris, Christmas (((HUGS))) to you! :)cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516076315691432589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-31216772834666240512013-12-25T09:32:22.349-06:002013-12-25T09:32:22.349-06:00Can't take any credit.
