Heart, Bullock's, Stewed

Prepare a heart as in the last recipe. Soak it in vinegar and water, fill it with hare forcemeat, and put it in a saucepan, the broad end uppermost, and with it a sliced turnip and carrot, an onion stuck with four cloves, half a tea-spoonful of bruised celery-seed, tied in muslin, two tea-spoonfuls of salt, one tea-spoonful of moist sugar, and a quarter of a tea-spoonful of cayenne. Pour over the heart a pint of good stock, or, failing this, water, and half a pint of beer. Cover the pan closely, and when the liquid has once boiled, draw it a little to the side, and simmer gently for five hours. Send the gravy in which it was stewed to table with it. Probable cost of heart, 2s. 6d. Sufficient for six or seven persons.
