Fried Sweet Potatoes.
For this purpose may be used potatoes that are too large for baking well. Cut in slices one-fourth of an inch thick, and sprinkle with salt. have a well greased frying pan hot, put in the potatoes and fry a light brown. Be careful not to cook too rapidly, lest the potatoes blister and do not cook thoroughly. Some persons prefer to boil the potatoes half done before slicing for frying.
Jack Rabbit Stew.
Cut into pieces, including neck, head (eyes being bored out), lungs, liver and heart; place these pieces in an earthen or lined dish, add one onion (sliced), lemon (sliced), one teaspoonful of whole pepper, two bayberry leaves, twelve cloves, a little parsley and salt, and good wine vinegar, sufficient to cover pieces, and allow it to stand in a cool place for twenty-four hours.
When ready for use place in a lined pot, a small piece of butter, one sliced onion, two bayberry leaves, dessert-spoonful of whole pepper, eight cloves,
wineglassful of wine vinegar, a pint of beef broth (stock), cover, put on the fire and allow it to simmer till soft. Meanwhile put in a saucepan a piece of butter the size of a walnut, sprinkle in two tablespoonsful of flour,
and roast golden brown; then add, under steady stirring of the rabbit, sauce till thin, and pour all into the pot; allow it to cook well done. Serve hot in deep dish together.
TO ROAST A PIG.
The pig must be very fat, nicely cleaned, and not too large to lie in the dish; chop the liver fine and mix it with crumbs of bread, chopped onion and parsley, with pepper and salt, make it into a paste with butter and an egg, stuff the body well with it, and sew it up, spit it, and have a clear fire to roast it; baste with salt and water at first, then rub it frequently with a lump of lard wrapped in a piece of clean linen; this will make it much more crisp than basting it from the dripping pan.
When the pig is done, take off the head, separate the face from the chop, cut both in two and take off the ears, take out the stuffing, split the pig in two parts lengthways, lay it in the dish with the head, ears, and feet, which have been cut off, placed on each side, put the stuffing in a bowl with a glass of wine, and as much dripping as will make it sufficiently liquid, put some
of it under the pig, and serve the rest in a boat.
