Hard Soap
From Kyle
MY
GRANDMOTHER MADE THIS SOAP OFTEN AFTER RENDERING THE GREASE FROM KILLING THE
PIG. ALWAYS OUTDOORS
OVER AN OPEN
FIRE. MY FRIEND'S GRANDMA DROPPED HIM INTO THE
HOT BOILING
SOAP WHEN HE WAS TWO YEARS OLD. IT BURNED
AND
SCALED HIS HEAD AND HE LOST HIS BEAUTIFUL BLOND STRAIGHT HAIR WHEN IT CAME BACK
IN IT WAS BLACK AND CURLY.
7 1/2 LBS GREASE (CAN BE MELTED OR LEFT UN-RENDERED)
2 CANS LYE
2 1/2 QT. COLD WATER
MIX TOGETHER
AND COOK 1 HOUR ON TOP OF STOVE OR OUTDOOR
FIRE. STIR
OFTEN, ADD 1 GALLON
HOT OR BOILING WATER. COOK ANOTHER HOUR, STIRRING. IT WILL THICKEN
AND
LOOK LIKE PUDDING. REMOVER FROM THE
FIRE AND
COOL. WHEN SET, CUT INTO BARS.
MAY BE GROUND UP LATER IF YOU WISH.
DO NOT USE THE RESIDUE ON THE BOTTOM OF CONTAINER UNDER SOAP. USE A GALVANIZED
TUB OR ENAMEL PAN.
