Homemade Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 box Red Devil lye
4 lb. grease (hog lard)
1 oz. rosin
1 oz. Borax
10 qt. water

Preparation

Put cold water in a No. 12 washpot and the lye starts the water boiling.
After it boils, a fire is lighted beneath the pot and the other ingredients are added.
The process is called saponification.
You keep stirring the ingredients to give the soap the right texture and smoothness.
The rosin takes out the odor.
Handle it very carefully because lye is dangerous to the eyes.
