To Clean Tripe

Ingredients

• tripe
• slack lime
• water

Directions

1. Heat water to a temperature similar to scalding hogs.

2. Add enough slack lime to make the water milk-white.

3. Submerge the tripe in the lime water and stir well.

4. Check frequently; when scalded, place on a board and scrape with a hog scraper until clean.

5. Trim the edges and rinse in fresh water to remove lime.

6. Cook slowly for five hours.

7. After cooking, drop into cold water to whiten.
