To chess a Jugged Hare, to boil Rabbits, <Spc. as woodcocks, with a toast under them, and gravy and butter. To dress a Jugged Hare Cut it in little pieces, lard them here and there with little slips of bacon, season ^with a little pepper and salt, put them in an earthen jug, with a blade or two of mace, an onion stuck with cloves, and a bundle of sweet herbs ; cover the jug close that nothing can get in, then set it in a pot of boiling water, and three hours will do it; then turn it out in the dish, and take out the onion and sweet herbs, and send it to table hot. If you do not like it larded, leave it out. , To boil Rabbits. Truss them for boiling, boil them quick and white ; put them in a dish, with onion sauce over, made thus : take as many onions as you think will cover them ; peel them, and boil them tender, strain them off, squeeze them very dry, and chop them fine; put them in a stevvpan, with a piece of butter, half a pint of cream, a little salt, and shake in a little flour; stir them well over a gentle fire, till the butter is melted ; then put them over the rabbits: or a sauce made thus: blanch the livers, and chop them very fine, with some parsley blanched and chopped ; mix them with melted butter, and put it over ; or with gravy and butter. Cod Sounds broiled with Gravy. Scald them in hot wa- ter, and rub them with salt well; blanch them ; that is, take oft' the black dirty skin, set them on in cold water, and let them simmer till they begin to be tender; take them out and flour them, and broil them on the gridiron. In the mean time take good gravy, mustard, a bit of butter rolled in flour, boil it, season it with pep- per and salt. Lay the sounds in a dish, and pour the sauce over them. Fried Sausages. Take half a pound of sausages, and six, apples, slice four as thick as a crown, cut the other two in quarters, fry them with the sausages of a fine light brown, lay the sausages in the middle of the dish, and the apples round.
