This recipe was extracted from The household cook book (1902) by Smiley, James B[ethuel],, page 132. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

O PREPARE — Rennets should not be saved from calves less than a week old; those from 3 to 4 weeks old make the best. Never use a stomach of an animal the least out of health. Take the rennet out immediately after the animal is killed, turn inside out without washing, cure thoroughly with dairy salt, dry perfectly, and keep in paper bags till wanted for use. For use, soak in clean whey

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
