After careful cleansing, the gut is split up into strands, and treated with a bath of pearlash water for several days. |
Nankeen is obtained from Spanish arnatto dissolved in hot water, with a small portion of pearlash in it. |
After slaking the lime in water add the pearlash, and let the mixture be made of a consistence about the same as that of paint. |
If cheese get hard, and lose its flavour, pour some sweet wine over four ounces of pearlash, till the liquor ceases to ferment. |
Every thing mixed with pearlash should be put in the oven immediately. |
Thousands of wagon loads of pure saleratus and pearlash could be got here. |
