Mutton Broth
Place in a kettle three pounds of a neck of mutton from which the fat has been cut, and chopped into small pieces, with six pints of water. Boil, skim, set the pan to the rear of the stove, where it can simmer for an hour. Add three ounces of washed rice, with a turnip and some celery. Simmer for two hours.
Strain, free from fat and salt.
