Homemade Gratons: Cracklins

• 1 quart hog lard
• 10 pounds pork fat with skin, cut into 1-inch pieces
• Salt

1. Heat the hog lard in a large, deep, heavy pot.
2. Add the pork fat pieces, stirring to prevent sticking.
3. When the cracklins start to float in the oil and are getting brown (this can take a long time), remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Season, to taste, with salt.
5. When cool, store in an airtight container.
