Let it simmer for 25 more minutes until the fats have turned into really small cracklings.
These cracklings can be eaten as-is for a snack or used as a side dish.

Place a strainer on a large bowl and cover the strainer with a piece of cheesecloth.
Pour the rendered fat into the cheesecloth, then remove the bits caught in the cloth.
Let the strained fat cool down for a few hours until it has completely set and become white lard.
