Sunday after the Slaughter Party Guy was able to take me to the store to pick up some more salt for curing the bacon and then we continued to make more lard.
After he left I started working on other things then went back to the piggy parts. The head and skin was brought in and is ready to be processed, the meat and organs were ground and mixed with spices to make the garlic sausages and the fat continued to be processed. I also was able to get all the leaf lard and to process it. Not as pearly white as the first few batches of lard, but still has a different consistency. The lard processing continues and I'm not sure when I can finish it all. =)
The bacon curing is on going and we'll try on different types of recipes to see what we like. The remaineder of the piggy parts will be put into the ground to help compost and to add to the soil nutrients for the future patch of watermelons that will be put in where Macaroon was staying. It looks like spring is here and it's just the beginning of all the work.
