Boiled Mutton.
The leg is best for this purpose, and will look much nicer when served, if it has been tied up in very coarse, thin muslin, or in white mosquito-netting. Put on in plenty of boiling salted water, and cook a quarter of an hour to the pound. Unwrap when done, brush all over with butter, and serve with a boat of drawn butter, in which have been stirred two dozen capers or pickled nasturtium-seed. Take care of the liquor.
