Rendering Tallow
Cut the tallow fine, and put it to boil in a large pot with a quart of
water; stir it frequently and keep it boiling moderately for six hours;
when the cracklings begin to turn brown, it should boil very slowly
till done.
Put a little water in the bottom of your dutch-ovens or tin pans, and
strain it in with a cloth over the colander, or the settlings will run
through and hurt the looks of your candles.
