My husband adores the English Plum Pudding his grandmother used to make. The recipe calls for suet. Sometimes it was hard to find a butcher who could provide me with ground suet for the pudding.<BR/><BR/>Since no one else in the family really loved the pudding, I haven't made one in years.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-33209746674521104152008-11-29T09:02:00.000-05:002008-11-29T09:02:00.000-05:00Kim- Believe me, I do not handle that smelly fat! ...Kim- Believe me, I do not handle that smelly fat! The butcher mixes in the seed and places the mixture in the string bag. I buy it as is for $1.00. I take it out of the plastic bag as quickly as possible and hang it outside. The Juncos love this as do the Chickadees. I also have a hard square suet block that I buy at the grocery store but it is not quite as "decadent" and is twice as much money.<Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-34736665588157008282008-11-29T08:15:00.000-05:002008-11-29T08:15:00.000-05:00We have several neighborhood butcher shops.... now...We have several neighborhood butcher shops.... now I may just have to pay them a visit. :c)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-56400673901160437402008-11-29T06:23:00.000-05:002008-11-29T06:23:00.000-05:00Wow that's a lot of suet!!

You have to be very dedicated to render that stuff from the real thing. I have been wanting to do it but have been too chicken. After seeing how much you were able to net out of it though, I am even more tempted to try it.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539583838978744802noreply@blogger.com
