Hi all,
I have lots of goose fat, mainly from the roast itself ( a caramel colour) and then from the top of the stock I made (white). How do I make sure it doesnt go off? Do I clarify it? and if so how do I do that?
Any ideas please
Tiny

I sterilise some jars with boiling water, pour out the water, and put the jars in the oven at about 110 C. Then I heat the oil, checking the temperature, till it's at 1110 C (it has to be good and clarified, make sure you've strained and skimmed every last impurity out) and then jar it hot. The way I see it, it's just like bottling jam.

I have two 'grades' of goose fat; there's the rendered down clean fat, cut from the carcass, and that's used for either pastry or soap. Then there's the 'flavoured' fat from the roast and the stock, and that goes for cooking a confit of the legs (which are still stored under the fat). That more heavily flavoured fat will be bottled the same way as the other fat, and used for roasting veg through the year.

I have two huge goose legs cooked for confit and stored under fat.

I render and store mine in the same way that Cab mentions above.

You can also reuse it after doing your roasties etc.

I don't know what everybody else sees there, but I just caught a glimpse of the very left of the photo and it looks a bit dubious to me
