3 Pickling Recipes WALNUTS PICKLED WHITE Take large young walnuts while their shells are quite soft so that you can stick the head of a pin into them. Pare them very thin till the white appears; and as you do them, throw them into spring or pump water in which some salt has been dissolved. Let them stand in that water six hours, with a thin board upon them to keep them down under the water. Fill a porcelain kettle with fresh spring water, and set it over a clear fire, or on a charcoal furnace. Put the walnuts into the kettle, cover it, and let them simmer (but not boil) for five or six minutes. Then have ready a vessel with cold spring water and salt, and put your nuts into it, taking them out of the kettle with a wooden ladle. Let them stand in the cold salt and water for a quarter of an hour, with the board keeping them down as before; for if they rise above the liquor, or are exposed to the air, they will be discoloured. Then take, them out, and lay them on a cloth covered with another, till they are quite dry. Afterwards rub them carefully with a soft flannel, and put them into a stone jar; laying among them blades of mace, and sliced nutmeg, but no dark-coloured spice. Pour over them the best distilled vinegar, and put on the top a table-spoonful of sweet oil. RECIPE CATEGORY: PICKLED Year: 1840 RECIPE: 5502

4 Poultry Recipes WOODCOCK EN SURPRISE Take two livers of FOWLS and the trails of some cold woodcocks. Chop very finely two shalots, a sprig of parsley, and eight flap mushrooms, and fry in butter. When nearly cooked, put in the trail and livers to fry with the vegetables. After, pound all together in a mortar, and season with salt and pepper. Cut some neat slices of bread about two inches square, and fry them a pale colour, then spread on them the liver and trail forcemeat. Place them into the oven to colour, then dish them up with the woodcocks made into a salmi over them, with a good rich brown Sauce flavoured with claret round.

5 Meat and Vegetable Sauce Recipes NASTURTIAN SAUCE his is by many considered superior to caper Sauce and is eaten with boiled mutton. It is made with the green seeds of nasturtians, pickled simply in cold vinegar. Cut about six ounces of butter into small hits, and put them into a small Sauce-pan. Mix with a wine-glass of water sufficient flour to make a thick batter, pour it on the butter, and hold the Sauce-pan over hot coals, shaking it quickly round, till the butter is melted. Let it just boil up, and then take it from the fire. Thicken it with the pickled nasturtians and send it to table in a boat. Never pour melted butter over any thing, but always send it to table in a Sauce-tureen or boat. RECIPE CATEGORY: SAUCE Year: 1840 RECIPE: 5203

6 Cake and Dessert Filling Recipes LARD PASTE Lard for paste should never be used without an equal quantity of butter. Take half a pound of nice lard, and half a pound of fresh butter; rub them together into two pounds and a quarter of flour, and mix it with a little cold water to a stiff dough. Roll it out twice. Use it for common pies. Lard should always be kept in tin. RECIPE CATEGORY: PASTE Year: 1840 RECIPE: 1643

When the time for serving comes, make a Sauce in this manner: Beat the whites of two eggs to a stiff, dry froth, and beat into this two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. As soon as the sugar has been well mixed with the whites, add half of a large tumbler of currant jelly, or any other bright jelly, or any kind of preserved fruit may be used. If you prefer, serve sugar and cream with the pudding instead of a sauce. RECIPE CATEGORY: PUDDING Year: 1887 RECIPE: 3138

13 Domestic and Household Recipes ROASTING OR BAKING The first is the most extravagant way of cooking meat, as it wastes nearly one third of its substance in drippings and steam; the second also is very wasteful, unless the meat is surrounded with vegetables, or covered with a flour paste. When you do bake meat without a covering of paste, put it into a hot oven at the start, to crisp the outside and to keep in the valuable juices; you can moderate the heat of the oven as soon as the meat is brown, and let it finish cooking slowly by the heat of the steam which is constantly forming inside of it. It generally takes twenty minutes to bake each pound of meat. RECIPE CATEGORY: HOW TO COOK, SEASON, AND MEASURE Year: 1879 RECIPE: 3437
