You make tallow from suet, which is the fat from around the organs. What

May I ask why you need tallow, Cyndy? Do you need it to pemmican,

bird food, or just candles, or something else?

I don't know where you live, but here in rural PA I drive by a heck of

a lot of tallow everyday, just not isolated and ready-to-eat tallow.

Surely anywhere in the US has lots of cows nearby. Just find a good

cow that happens to be dead anyway and extract the tallow. Butcher

shops are good places to look. Tallow is no more difficult to find

than kefir; if you can find some cows you've got both.

I just made some tallow for the first time today and it was waaayyy easier

than i could have imagined. Filled the house with an unpleasant odor however

and i'm starting to feel unsure about my anticipated pemmican experiments.

Perhaps i'll just make soap and candles. What else can you do with tallow? I

acquired 30 pounds of free grass-fed suet and would love to put it to use.
