Hi,
Does anybody have any experience of making tallow?
My wifes uncle is a butcher and he reckons that Mutton fat makes better Tallow than beef fat.
The process I'm lead to understand is as follows.
1. Render down the fat from solid to liquid.
2. Purify the fat removing any nasty bits hair fibres ect
3. boil the fat to remove any water as this will make the fat turn rancid.
Hey presto Tallow.
The smell is supposed to be quite 'interesting'.
I wonder if anyone had tried this and if they could comment!
cheers
John
