Old Timey Lye Soap: Many
years ago this recipe was used by frontier homesteaders for
cleaning just about anything.
It's made the old way in a
big kettle over an open fire using hog fat, spring water and
lye. This soap is gentle and mild.
(Granny woulda been proud
of this soap!) This recipe does contain animal fats. It
is said to be very good for complexion,
to dry and heal poison
ivy as well as a mild laundry soap. Personally we use this
soap for our laundry, one bar will make
up to five gallons of
liquid soap. Please e-mail us for a liquid laundry soap recipe. |
