Tallow Candles

August 10, 2020 by admin

Fat is rendered by cooking for 4 – 5 hours until the fat separates and turns light brown. It’s skimmed from the cracklings.

String is threaded through the candle mold and held taught with sticks. The rendered tallow is poured into the mold.

Once it’s hardened the candles are dipped in hot water to loosen them and pried from the mold.

Finished candles!

Pictures are from a recent visit to the Lewis and Clark National Historical Center.
