Tallow is rendered beef or mutton fat, processed from suet. Suet can be obtained from your local super market or butcher either really cheap or free! It can also be obtained from the fat of any large game you may have harvested like deer.
The tallow derived from beef is called stearin. Unlike suet, tallow can be stored for extended periods without the need for refrigeration to prevent decomposition, provided it is kept in an airtight container to prevent oxidation.
It can be used to make soap, for cooking, and making candles or primitive lamps.
1). First, you must obtain some suet. You can get suet at the grocery store or your local butcher. This package was barely $1 for 1.12lbs...very cheap.
You can also get suet from any large or red-meat game you may have harvested such as deer, or elk. Pork or chicken will not work very well for tallow.
2). Cube the suet.
3). Fry the suet in a frying pan on medium heat.
