Gravy for Minced Veal, Cheap

Put the trimmings and bones of the veal into a saucepan, with as much water as will cover them. With a pint of water put a small onion, half a tea-spoonful of finely-minced lemon-rind, a small sprig of thyme, a blade of mace, and half a tea-spoonful of salt. Stew gently for an hour, then strain the gravy, thicken it with a little flour and butter, and add a table-spoonful of cream or milk. The flavour may be varied by the addition of mushroom or walnut ketchup, or the cream may be omitted, and the juice of half a lemon substituted for it. Probable cost, 4d. per pint. Sufficient for three-quarters of a pint.
