    That would be wonderful if you can post one so I can actually watch how it's done and explain what your doing. I learn better by watching people do things as apposed to reading

    So here's another question. If I have a recipe that calls for all oils and butters, how would you incorporate lard into it? Do you reduce the oils and butter then take the % of what you took out and use that same % in lard? Either im not looking in the right area or I'm not going far enough...

    shunt2011;610757 Palm is a substitute for lard/tallow. Palm is solid I've never seen liquid form. Walmart carries GV shortening which is Palm. They also carry Lard. Lard makes a superior soap over Palm for me. I make both but prefer lard. No smell carry over unless you overheat it. I bought...
