Potted Beef

Place in a jar some lean beef with a little water, cover and place in a deep stewpan full of boiling water, and simmer gently for five hours; take out the beef, mince it very fine and pound in a mortar with a little pepper, salt and mace, then add six ounces or so of butter. Fill some small pots with this, and pour clarified butter over the top to keep the air out; tie down with paper and keep in a cool place.
