If the stock is not stiff enough, mix with it a little melted gelatine.
Cover the mould, and bake for one hour in a moderate oven.
Let it get cold, and then turn it on to a dish.
Brawn.
- Ingredients—1 pig's head.
- 2 or 3 hard-boiled eggs.
- 2 onions.
- 6 cloves.
- 1 blade of mace.
- 2 dozen peppercorns.
- 1 sprig of parsley, thyme, and marjoram.
Method.—Clean the head well, and pickle it for three days (see [Pickle for Meat]).
Then put it in enough cold water to cover it, and boil it gently for three hours or more, until the flesh will leave the bones easily.
Take out the tongue, skin it, and cut it in slices.
Stamp them into fancy shapes with a paste cutter; wet a plain round mould and decorate it with them and the eggs cut in slices.
Remove the meat from the bone, and cut it into large dice.
