Reuse Recipe: Fat, Lard, Animal Grease

Photo from Here

At our local nature center this week I stumbled on another way to use fat scraps and grease -- Suet Bird Feeders. There are a lot of recipes for this online already -- here a few that look similar to what we made:

1. Thrifty Fun -- Making Homemade Suet
2. Mother Earth News -- How to Make Cakes for a Suet Bird Feeder
   
3. Inhabitat -- this is a fancier recipe but the photos are great
4. Food.com -- Suet Balls for Birds' Christmas
5. BirdNature.com -- several recipes and ideas for making and presentation to the birds I especially like the idea of putting them in a mesh (onion) bag and hanging them up some where rather than putting them up on a string. That might give the birds a chance to get it before the squirrels do. 
6. 5 Orange Potatoes - DIY Suet Feeders - this blog is AWESOME! lots of great natural projects and ideas.
