_*Boiled Mutton_--Wipe leg of mutton, put on fire, barely covered
with boiling water, and let boil about 10 minutes, then simmer until
tender; season with salt when half cooked. A few slices of onion,
turnip, and carrot, or 2 or 3 stalks of celery, may be added while
cooking. When tender, brush over the meat with melted Crisco and
sprinkle with finely chopped parsley. Serve with caper sauce which is
made as follows: Mix 2 tablespoons Crisco with 1 tablespoon flour;
add 1 cup boiling water; stir it over fire until thick; add to it 1
hard-cooked egg chopped fine and 2 tablespoons of capers.
