To Make Souse

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Clean the hog feet thoroughly, removing all hairs.

  2. Dip the feet in hot lye to remove the hoof, using a knife to slip it off.

  3. Clean the ears and nose, then soak all parts in water with dissolved washing soda for 24 hours.

  4. Scrape again to ensure they are white and clean, then boil until tender.

  5. Soak in weak salt water until cold, then add vinegar.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
