Chine should always be parboiled and stewed before roasting, to take
away the gross taste which the melted fat frying from it gives. After
this lay in the pan with one pint water in which it was boiled, from
which all the fat has been skimmed. Put in this several whole leaves
of sage, to be removed before serving--just to get the flavor; minced
onion, and parsley.
Baste and brown quickly that it may not dry.
This is only stewed chine browned.--_Mrs. S. T._
PORK ROYAL.
Take a piece of shoulder of fresh pork, fill with grated bread and the
crust soaked, pepper, salt, onion, sage and thyme: a bit of butter and
lard. Place in a pan with some water; when about half done, place
around it some large apples; when done, place your pork on a dish,
with the apples round it; put flour and water on your pan, flour
browned, some thyme and sage; boil, strain through a very small
colander over your pork and apples.

1 pound salt; a half pound of black pepper.
4 ounces allspice.

Cut the fat in small pieces and then chop it; chop the lean very fine:
mix all together, kneading in the seasoning. Press it down in small

SWEETBREAD OF HOG.
This nice morsel is between the maw and ruffle piece inside of the
hog. Put them in soak for a day; parboil them and then gash them and
stew them in pepper, butter, one teacup of milk and a little vinegar.
Or they are very nice fried or broiled.--_Mrs. P. W._
SOUSE CHEESE.
Lay the meat in cold water as cut from the hog. Let it stand three or
four days, shifting the water each day. Scrape it and let it stand a
day or two longer, changing the water often, and if it should turn
warm, pour a little salt in the water. The oftener it is scraped, the
whiter will be the souse. Boil in plenty of water to cover it,
replenishing when needed. When tender enough, put it in milk-warm
water, and when cold in salt water. Boil the head until the bones will
almost fall out. Clean one dozen or more ears and boil also; while
hot, chop very fine, and season with pepper and salt.
Put in a mold or bowl with a weight on top. The feet may be soused
whole, or cut up with the head and ears; but it is not so nice. Clean
them by dipping in boiling water and scraping; do not hold them to the
fire to singe off the hair. One head and one dozen ears will make a
good-sized cheese.--_Mrs. W._
