Take six ounces of Hart-Horn, three ounces of Ivory both finely carped,
boyle it in two quarts of water in a Pipkin close covered, and when it
is three parts wasted, you may try it with a Spoon if it will be jelly,
you may know by the sticking to your Lips, then straine it through a
jelly bag; season it with Rose-water, juyce of Lemons and double refined
Sugar, each according to your Taste, then boyle altogether two or three
walmes, so put in the Glasse and keep for your use.
_To make Chickens fat in four or five dayes._
Take a pint of French Wheat and a pint of Wheat flower, halfe a pound of
Sugar, make it up into a stiff Paste, and rowle it into little rowles,
wet them in warme Milk, and so Cram them, and they will be fat in four
or five dayes, if you please you may sow them up behind one or two of
the last dayes.
_To make Angelot._
Take a Gallon of Stroakings and a Pint of Creame as it comes from the
Cow, and put it together with a little Rennet; when you fill, turne up
the midst side of the Cheese-fat, fill them a little at once, and let it
stand all that day and the next, then turn them, and let them stand til
they will slip out of the Fat, Salt them on both sides, and when the
Coats begin to come on them, neither wipe nor scrape them, for the
thicker the Coat is the better.
_A Persian Dish._
Take the fleshly part of a Leg of Mutton stript from the fat and sinews,
beat that well in a Morter with Pepper and Salt, and a little Onyon or
Garlick water by it selfe, or with Herbs according to your taste, then
make it up in flat cakes and let them be kept twelve houres betweene two
Dishes before you use them, then fry them with butter in a frying Pan
and serve them with the same butter, and you will find it a dish of
savory meat.
_To roast a shoulder of Mutton in blood._
When your sheepe is killed save the blood, and spread the caule all open
upon a Table that is wet, that it may not stick to it; as soone as you
have flead your sheepe, cut off a shoulder, and having Tyme picked,
shred and cut small into some of your blood, stop your shoulder with it,
inside and outside, and into every hole with a Spoone, put some of the
Blood; after you have put in the Tyme, then lay your Shoulder of Mutton
upon the caule and wrap that about it, then lay it into a Tray, and pour
all the rest of the blood upon it; so let it lie all night, if it be in
Winter, you may let it lie twenty foure hours, then roast it.
