_Ingredients._—12 shanks of mutton, 3 quarts of water, a bunch of sweet
herbs, pepper and salt to taste, 3 blades of mace, 1 onion, 1 lb. of
lean beef, a crust of bread toasted brown. _Mode._—Soak the shanks in
plenty of water for some hours, and scrub them well; put them, with the
beef and other ingredients, into a saucepan with the water, and let
them simmer very gently for 5 hours. Strain the broth, and, when cold,
take off all the fat. It may be eaten either warmed up or cold as a
jelly. _Time._—5 hours. _Average cost_, 1_s._ _Sufficient_ to make from
1½ to 2 pints of jelly. _Seasonable_ at any time.
INVALIDS, Lemonade for.
_Ingredients._—½ lemon, lump sugar to taste, 1 pint of boiling water.
_Mode._—Pare off the rind of the lemon thinly; cut the lemon into 2 or
3 thick slices, and remove as much as possible of the white outside
pith, and all the pips. Put the slices of lemon, the peel, and lump
sugar into a jug; pour over the boiling water; cover it closely, and
in 2 hours it will be fit to drink. It should either be strained or
poured off from the sediment. _Time._—2 hours. _Average cost_, 2_d._
_Sufficient_ to make 1 pint of lemonade. _Seasonable_ at any time.
