RE: Old Fashioned Lard Soap Recipe
My grandma did a similar recipe using tallow. I can remember her boiling the beef fat- kind of had a smell to it, but the soap she'd make out of the tallow was so luxurious.
I've heard that tallow soap is beautiful. I've never had the chance to try it! I have always wanted to try making our own lye, it's on the bucket list. There are jokes in our family about my grans soap being "unpredictable" in strength (and sometimes skin burn).
OUCH!
I've read some on making lye... just kind of scary. But still, it would be nice to have that skill.
what's the worst that can happen (lol).
