Ingredients
- 1 quart hog lard
- 10 pounds pork fat with skin, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt
Directions
Heat the hog lard in a large, deep, heavy pot. Add the pork fat pieces, stirring to prevent sticking. 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. Season, to taste, with salt. When cool, store in an airtight container.

The trick is the rue. Do not burn. But very worth the effort. Made the house smell yummy! I used polish sausage instead of andouille and it turned out great.

The only way to eat these southern delicacies is to get 'em fresh and hot and only from somewhere down near da bayou yeah! God bless Emeril for trying to teach city folk how to re-create them, but take it from me, you wont find anything even close to the originals anywhere outside the lafayette parish line!
