Boiled Leg of Mutton.
Put on in plenty of boiling water, a little salt. Cook fifteen minutes to the pound. When done, wipe dry and rub all over with butter. Make a boat of drawn butter, using as a base a cup of the strained pot-liquor, and, when made, add a great spoonful of chopped cucumber pickle.
Of course you will pour the pot-liquor into the stock-jar.
