Veal Gravy

Take one pound of lean ham cut in slices and a knuckle of veal cut up and put them into a well-buttered stewpan with any bones of chickens and rabbits which may be at hand; pour two quarts of stock over this, cover it and boil it down to a glaze. When it is a deep red fill it up with stock; as soon as it boils skim well; add three or four cloves, two blades of mace, three good-sized carrots and the same amount of chopped celery, onions and turnips. Let it simmer for about three hours, then strain it through a tammy sieve into a pan to cool for use.
