How to make RILLETTES! My Favorite Potted Meat

As I continue to make my way thru preserving this Muscovy duck harvest, I'm delighted to share rillettes with you! An old-fashioned meat preservation method using fat to seal the jars, potted meats are a must-try for the homesteader, prepper, or off grid dwelers! Rillettes was a new concept to me in the fall of 2022, and I fell instantly in love with this preparation! Simple, versatile, flavorful, and stores up to 6 months in my cold pantry! (Cold as in 40-60f during the fall and winter just by virtue of me keeping the door closed and the room unheated, maybe occasionally cracking a window.)

Rillettes are a type of potted meat that is slow-cooked in broth and/or fat to create a rich, shredded meat that is "potted", pressed into jars and covered with a fat cap to seal and preserve it for months to come. So far, I have made rillettes with pork, beef, rabbit, and now Muscovy duck, and I have used a lot of flavors in different batches, all with great results! Grab some meat, some spices, maybe some wine, or beer, some fat, and make up a batch for yourself!
