Ran across a great recipe for the holidays and I thought I would share it with you:

COLONIAL BAYBERRY CANDLE WAX

Combine ten quarts of bayberries with twenty quarts of water. Boil for four hours. Remove from stove and cool. Remove the wax and strain through two thicknesses of cheese cloth. Wax is now ready to pour into candle molds.

(From a collection of Fall River Line Steamer Recipes. Taken from the logbook of Raymond Francis Allard of the the Steamer Commonwealth)

It would be interesting to learn of your experience with the above recipe.
