December 10th : JUGGED HARE
Divide an undrest hare into joints; let them be larded with bacon. Mix well, upon the dish on which you have made the dissection, a spoonful of salt, and half a one of Cayenne and pounded mace, a few leaves of mixed sweet herbs; add to these four silver onions, half a dozen cloves, a gill of port wine, half a pint of spring water, and a table-spoonful of currant jelly.
Put all into a jug with a close fitting top, and place it in a saucepan of boiling water for three hours. Lay the meat on a dish before the fire, strain the liquor, boil it up, and pour it over the hare just before sending to table.
