Homemade Suet

Cultural Context

Suet has been a traditional ingredient in British cooking, often used in puddings and pastries. In America, it is less common but still valued for its high fat content, making it ideal for bird feeders and certain recipes. Homemade suet allows for customization with herbs and spices, appealing to modern cooks who appreciate traditional methods and sustainability.
