Wash grease several times until clear and clean.

5 lbs. grease
3 tbsp. sugar
1 can lye
1/2 c. ammonia
1/2 c. borax

Dissolve lye in 1 pint of hot water until thoroughly dissolved. Add borax and ammonia and sugar. When well dissolved, stir slowly in cool grease until like thick cream.

Beat, beat, beat!

Line a wooden box or pan with wet cloth. Pour in soap when cool. Cool 12-24 hours and then cut in squares.

The sugar is optional. It just makes it whiter.
