To Clarify Fat

Cut up any scraps of cooked or uncooked fat into small pieces, place in a saucepan, add just sufficient cold 
water to cover them, stir often, and simmer with the lid off till nothing is left of the pieces of fat but brownish scraps. 

Strain into a basin, and when cold, a hard white cake will be formed, which will keep good some time. This fat makes excellent pastry, and can be used for frying.
