Spiced Shoulder of Mutton

Bone a shoulder of mutton, and rub it well with a mixture of two ounces of sugar, one teaspoonful each of ground mace and pepper, and one saltspoonful of powdered cloves. Continue to do this for a week, letting it remain in the pickle; then roll it up, tie it round with a string, place in a stewpan with some good beef broth and cook slowly until done. Lay it on a dish, add a little piquant sauce to the broth, and serve.
