Lye Soap - clean lard

Method

• Be careful in your selection.
• Do not choose too young.
• When once selected, give your entire thoughts to preparation for domestic use.
• Some insist on keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly getting them in hot water.
• This makes them sour, hard to get along with and sometimes bitter.
• Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by garnishing them with patience, well sweetened with kisses.
• Wrap them in a mantle of charity. Keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with peaches and cream.
• Thus prepared, they will keep for many years.
