RECIPE

 

 
  30. Ham.

  Beat to a mash with a rolling-pin some thin slices of
the lean part of a dressed ham, and put it into a saucepan
with a teacupful of gravy. Set it over a slow fire, and keep
stirring it to prevent its sticking to the Bottom. When it
has been on some time, put in a bunch of sweet herbs, half
a pint of beef gravy, and some pepper. Cover it close, let
it stew over a gentle fire, and when it is done strain it off.
This is a very good sauce for any kind of veal.
