Emergency Crisco Candle

If you need a candle in an emergency, reach for a tub of lard! A container of Crisco with a string in the middle will burn just like a candle, and can last for days (yes, days!). Always keep those simple items on hand for a quick and easy solution to power outages and emergency situations. (And hey, if the situation never calls for the Crisco, you can always make pie crust).
