Wash a small calf's liver; put it in a stewing pan with a good-sized onion chopped fine, two bay leaves, a blade of mace, a saltspoonful of black pepper, six whole cloves, a teaspoonful of salt, a lump of loaf sugar and one pint of stock; cover the saucepan and cook gently for three hours. When done cut the liver in thin slices, put them on a meat-dish, strain over the liquor from the saucepan, and stand aside overnight.
