Take the Blood of a Hog, and strain it, and let it stand to settle,
putting in a little Salt while it is warm, then pour off the water on
the top of the Blood, and put so much Oatmeal as you think fit, let it
stand all night, then put in eight Eggs beaten very well, as much Cream
as you think fit, one Nutmeg or more grated, some Pennyroyal and other
Herbs shred small, good store of Beef Sewet shred very small, and a
little more Salt, mix these very well together, and then have your Guts
very well scoured, and scraped with the back of a Knife, fill them but
not too full, then when you have tyed them fast, wash them in fair
water, and let your water boil when they go in; then boil them half an
hour, then stir them with the handle of a Ladle and take them up and lay
them upon clean straw, and prick them with a Needle, and when they are a
little cool put them into the boiling water again, and boil them till
they are enough.

it boil till it be very thick, then take it off and let it cool, then

some Marrow, or Beef Suet shred very small, then butter your Pan, and so
bake it, but not too much.
