If you are a birder or have feeders, you can use lard for making suet. It's good when it's cold, and during baby season. I use this recipe (Modified Zick Dough), and throw in dried fruits, nuts, and black oil sunflower seeds.

NEW ZICK DOUGH: SMALL BATCH Melt in the microwave and stir together: 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup lard In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups chick starter 2 cups quick oats 1 cup yellow cornmeal and 1 cup flour Add melted lard/peanut butter mixture to the combined dry ingredients and mix well.

I do this also.  :D

I also save the fat from browning hamburger meat and freeze it. Don't use bacon fat because of the additives. Once I have lots of fat I melt it all together in the oven, take it out of the oven, and mix in dried fruits, etc. Also, I have been finding crickets living under the porch. I pick them up, throw them into a glass jar, and stick the jar in the freezer. I mix the crickets into the suet mix. You can also buy meal worms at a birding store and mix those in. It's a lot of fun watching the birds eating the suet. You can mix red pepper into the suet. It doesn't bother the birds but discourages mammals from trying to eat it.[/quote]
