Sweet Patties

Sweet patties may be made of various ingredients, and in a variety of ways (see PATTIES, PREPARATION OF). The mince to fill them will be excellent if made as follows. Take the meat of a boiled calf's-foot--one which has been stewed down for stock may be utilised in this way--drain it well, mince it finely, and mix with it a table-spoonful of finely-shredded suet, three apples, pared, cored, and chopped small, a spoonful of candied peel chopped small, the pounded yolks of two hard-boiled eggs, the strained juice of a lemon, and a little of the grated rind: sugar to taste, and add a small glassful of wine. Put this mince into pastry, and bake the patties in the usual way.
