AVERAGE COST, exclusive of the giblets, 1s. 6d. Clean and put the giblets into a stewpan with an onion, whole pepper and a bunch of savoury herbs; add rather more than a pint of water, and simmer gently for about 1½ hour. Take them out. let them cool, and cut them into pieces; line the bottom of a pie dish with a few pieces of rumpsteak; add a layer of giblets and a few more pieces of steak; season with pepper in cold water to preserve the colour, and boil them in the syrup until transparent; but be careful not to let them break. Put the pieces of apples into jars, pour over the syrup, and carefully exclude the air, by well covering them.
It will remain good some time, if kept in a dry place.
