Marigold (Calendula officinalis) salve

As I promised, here is the recipe for the topical application of Marigold.
What you do is melt 1/4 pound lard, white shortening , or petroleum jelly in a pan. Add 1/4 pound marigold flowers. bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Strain liquid into glass container to cool (It will solidify as it cools). Put on lid and refrigerate.
This salve can be used as needed. It is great for burns, cuts and scratches, and acne.
