Seasoning for Forcemeat and Game and Meat Pies

Take two ounces of dried thyme, an ounce of marjoram, an ounce of rosemary, and two ounces of bay-leaves. Pound these in a mortar, and pass the powder through a hair sieve. Pound separately two ounces of cloves, two ounces of black pepper, and one ounce of cayenne, mix these with the powdered herbs, and add four ounces of grated nutmeg. Weigh the powder, and add to it four times its weight in dried salt. Put it into small bottles, cork these securely, and put them in a dry place till wanted. When mixed with salt in this proportion, one ounce of seasoning will flavour three pounds of forcemeat.
