Here is the finished product of my beef tallow making from yesterday. The liquid form right after straining, and the solid form after cooling. 2 quart jars and 1 pint jar. I am pleased with the results, and after watching multiple yt videos, i decided to try the method that looked like it would be the easiest. So i just put the fat into a pot with a lid, then put it into the oven on low heat. Took longer than i thought it would, but that was not a problem. #foodstr #grownostr #beeftallow

And you can use it for so much! I did mine in the slow cooker and it also took longer than expected.

I wanted to make skincare stuff with it and had to do this a few times as the first batch smelled just like beef 🤣 it was horrible 🤣

Yeah i heard people mention the strong smell, but mine has only a faint smell, and i have a pretty sensitive nose.

Quality beef I think in your case? 😊

Eventually the skin cream worked beautifully. Turns out I had to re melt it a few times and then once mixed up I had to leave it on the shelf for a month - now it’s lovely stuff but before that it was very beefy!! 😂

Wow, good to know. I might eventually experiment with using it for salve, but this batch is for cooking. And yes its very high quality beef, raised locally by a family that is part of The Beef Initiative.

I think it was Bumblebee Apothecary that has some lovely recipes for when you want to make your own 💜
