Put three pounds lime, six pounds sal soda, and one-half pound borax in five gallons water; boil until all is dissolved, and then let it stand six hours or more; draw off the clear liquid and put in six pounds of grease, boil until it thickens. When partially cool pour into shallow dishes to harden.
