Black Stew

Take any kind of fresh meat that has been boiled or roasted, cut up enough to make a dish; put one tablespoonful currant jelly, one tablespoonful of wine, one large spoonful butter, one-half onion chopped, pepper and salt. Stir all together fifteen minutes. Pickle cut up is an improvement, and brown sugar can be used instead of currant jelly-Mrs. J. T.
