Excerpt from Hartford Election Cake and Other Receipts: Chiefly From Manuscript SourcesPut a shank of beef or veal, or both, into a soup-pot, with cold water, allowing a quart of water for each pound of meat, and salt in the proportion of a half tea spoonful to each quart of liquid. Let the soup simmer on the back of the stove for two hours, skim carefully. Put a full teaspoonful of butter into a very hot frying pan stir until it begins to brown, then fry in it a small onion, half a small carrot, half a turnip, and a stick or two of celery, if convenient, chopped moderately fine. When fried a light brown, add the vegetables to the soup, boil slowly three hours more. Remove from the fire, strain through fine sieve, set away until nextday, when the soup should be a solid jelly from which every particle of fat can be removed.For use, take a portion of the jelly, melt it in a small kettle, and add, if it is desired to have the soup colored, a teaspoonful of burnt sugar, if necessary, add more salt and pepper. Let it boil up once, and, having carefully skimmed the soup, serve in a hot tureen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
