Fricasseed Pig's Feet and Ears

Clean and wash the feet and ears of a pig, cut them up in small pieces, put them in a saucepan with one pint of milk, and boil for an hour. Strain off the liquor, and put the pieces of meat in another saucepan, add a breakfast cupful of veal broth, a small onion, the peel of half a lemon, and a little powdered mace. Simmer over a slow fire until well done, then mix in one gill of cream, one ounce of butter well rolled in flour, and one saltspoonful of salt, warm up again, turn all on to a dish, and serve very hot.
