Gravy, Jugged

Take half a pound of lean ham, and two pounds of lean beef-the shin is the best for this purpose. Cut them into small square pieces, and put them into an earthen jar. Strew over, and amongst them, chopped vegetables and seasoning, consisting of a carrot, an onion, a salt-spoonful of bruised celery-seed, tied in a piece of muslin, a blade of mace, three sprigs of parsley, and one each of marjoram and thyme, six peppercorns, and a clove. Pour a quart of water on these ingredients, cover the jar closely, and place it in a moderate oven for five or six hours. At the end of that time, skim and strain the gravy, which will be ready for use. Probable cost for this quantity, 2s. 6d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
