Lamb fat, worth rendering?

Just curious... I have about 15 or so lbs of lamb fat (I bought about 175 lbs of lamb with a friend, who won 4 lambs in a livestock auction). Would it be a proper idea to render it (melt off the rinds and strain the liquid), to use for cooking? Or would it be too foul smelling? I made some lamb hamburgers today, from various bits (the kid loved them), and some fat that remained, after cooling, was decent tasting and likely suitable for cooking. That was perhaps not representative of the remaining fat, so, educated opinions will be appreciated. I would hate to waste 15 lbs of fat. Thanks i Render it! You could make a couple batches of soap with that. I've used beef, pork and duck fat for soap so far. I would think that lamb fat would behave about the same. For cooking though ... I would think the flavor would really interfere with whatever else you were cooking. Rebecca |

I am sooo jealous!!! How much did 175lbs of lamb cost?? I have a souvla - a greek (from cyprus really) rotisserie BBQ shishkebob grill. I want lots-o-lamb to cook on it. last night i was looking at $5lb. make sure you cook some in olive oil with rosemary. Lamb is sooooo awesome. Deer is my other favorite |

I wouldn't want to cook with lamb fat. But my MIL has a 'recipe' for an old
timey salve (that she swears by!) that uses mutton tallow (she has always used lamb fat.) -- Linda 296/203/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 http://home.att.net/~lewis_linda/index.html "Ignoramus30209" wrote in message ...
