I have come up with some very luxuriant soaps! Making your won soap can get expensive (like when you use almond oil, walnut oil, lanolin, beeswax, olive oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, essential oils, and powdered oatmeal all in the same batch of soap!!!), but ohhh what great soap! I found a small meat processing place that will give me all the suet I want for free (I just have to pick it up and tote it out, unpackaged by them), then I have frozen it until i want it. I render it down, strain, place in molds, then when cool, wrap and freeze for when I need it. This make sit very convenient. Even though the tallow is frozen, it is easy to break off chunks, weigh them, and melt them down. Hope this is helpful for those of you who cannot believe the high price of suet in grocery stores!
