Ingredients:

10 lb. Round of Beef (the boas taken out) 2 teaspoons of Salt. 2 teaspoons of Fine Pepper. 1 oz. Fine Saltpetre.

A teaspoon of Ginger, Mace, Allspice, Cloves, and Coriander Seeds (altogether).

A tablespoon of Vinegar.

Strips of Fat Bacon for larding.

Tablespoon of Brown sugar.

Hang the beef till quite tender. The day before cooking, spread over it a mixture of the above spices, moistened with vinegar. The next day fill the hole where the bone was taken out with a highly seasoned stuffing of breadcrumbs, suet, parsley, thyme, and a few shreds of onion; skewer, and roll a good shape; lard with strips of fat bacon. Put it on a small tripod on a baking-dish into the oven. Baste the meat continually with a little lard and gravy. Half an hour before the meat is done, pour over it half a tumbler of red wine into which a spoonful of flour has been Stirred.

This is excellent cold, and takes four or five hours to cook.
