Beef tallow

Post by Udwin »

Howdy all,
My family recently butchered a cow, and from her I was able to procure about fifteen pounds of suet. Rendered and purified tallow is handy for all sorts of stuff--lubricating tools, preventing rust, making pemmican, soap, or just giving leather a good honest patina. Now, fifteen pounds is a lot of tallow, so I'm throwing this out there to you folks first, to see if anyone would be interested and could use some.

This is awesome, but I suspect there is nothing pressing for which I could use it before it went rancid, unfortunately.

Ahh, but that's the beauty of it. As a hunk of fat fresh out of the cow, sure, it'll go bad pretty quick. But once it's rendered, purified, and put in an appropriate container (like a sealed mason jar), it has a long shelf life. Six months if kept in a cool, dark place; a year in the 'fridge; perhaps two years in the freezer!

I'd be on the interested list.

Yep, I have about 10 pounds of not-yet rendered&purified tallow still in the freezer.
