What happens here
Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to a medium-low simmer. Stir the mixture periodically to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The water will gradually evaporate, and the fat will slowly melt into liquid lard. Continue simmering and stirring until most of the fat has rendered into liquid, and the solid pieces (cracklings) begin to brown. Monitor the temperature, aiming for 250-300 degrees Fahrenheit, to ensure proper rendering without burning.
Goal: Reduce the heat and let the fat simmer, stirring occasionally, until the water has evaporated and the fat has largely melted, leaving behind cracklings and liquid lard.
