Suffientforme - thanks for that info. I'll keep it handy for the next time I do this; I don't want to mess with the already finished jars from yesterday.
(I would also add, for anyone else thinking of trying this, that it would probably be a good idea to make sure the inner side of the canning lid is dry before placing on the jar. I can't think it is a good idea to add water (even only a few drops) to the lard in the jar.)

I was just kidding (well, sort of 
; I just love the pastry I make with lard)
