Hog's Ears, Hot. — Parboil two pairs of pigs' ears. Raise the skin of the upper side, and fill them with, a forcemeat made by mincing and mixing thoroughly a quarter of a pound of suet, six ounces of bread-crumbs, a pounded an- chovy, two tea-spoonfuls of choiDped parsley, one tabie-spoonf ul of sage, and a little pepper and salt. Bind these ingredients together with the yolks of two eggs. When stuffed, skewer the ears to prevent the forcemeat escaping, and fry them in a little hot butter until brightly browned, then drain them and j^ut them into a stewpan, with haU' a pint of good gravy, one table-spoonful of mixed mustard, one ounce of butter rolledvin flour, one onion, and a little pepper and salt. Cover the stewpan closely, and simmer gently HOG ( 317 ) HON for half an hour, shaking the pan frequently, to keep the contents from sticking. A few minutes before the meat is done enough, add a glass of sheiTy. Put the cars in a hot dish, strain the gi'avy over them, and serve very hot. Prol)able cost, 8d. Sufficient for four persons. Hog's Lard, To Make.— Strip the skin from the flear, le<if, or inner fat of the pig, cut it into small jjieces, put it into an earthen jar, which must be covered and placed in a sauc<'pan of boiling water, and let it remain until melted. Pour it off, and keep it either in small jars, closelj'^ covered, or small bladders — the smaller the better, unless it is intended to use the lard quickly. After it is exposed to the ail- it is liable to spoil. Probable cost, lOd. per pound. Hog, or Black Puddings.— Throw a little salt into the blood as soon as it is drawn, stir it well, and, when cold, strain. Mix with it a third of its measure in milk, or good stock, and stir into it two-thirds of tinely-shred beef suet to one-third of dried oatmeal, until it is a stiff batter. Add pepper, salt, and finely-chopped onions, and, if liked, a little parsley, marjoram, or winter savoury. Cleanse the skins thoroughly. Cut them into equal lengths, and fill them with the mixture. Sew them securely. Put them into boiling water, and boil them gently, prick- ing them as they swell with a large darning- needle, to let out the air. Hang them in a dry place until wanted. Time, one hour to boil. Holly-leaves, To Frost, for Gar- nishing.— Take some holly-leaves, cleanse them thoroughly, lay them on a large dish some little distance from the fire, and let them remain there until perfectly dry. Dip them into butter, melted until it will run, strew white powdered sugar over them, and dry them l)cfore the fire. Keep in a dry place until wanted for use. Time ten minutes to dry. Holmby Cup. — Dissolve two ounces of pounded louf sugar in a pint of claret. Add a wine-glassful of brandy, a bottle of soda-water, and two table-spoonfuls of crushed ice. Holstein Sauce for Fish
