Method

Method of Preparation

Weigh meat and wipe well.
Mix salt, ground pepper, sugar, ginger, and celery seed.
Measure butter.
Measure wine and cream.
Slice lemon peel into very fine strips.

Method of Cookery

Rub seasoning mixture into meat, inside and out. Then tie up.
Brown meat in casserole in butter. Add bay leaves, allspice, juniper berries, peppercorns, stock, wine, and sliced lemon.
Cook over low heat for 2 hours.
When tender, strain off the sauce. Add the cream and heat. If not thickened enough, add a little arrowroot and water paste and boil for 30 seconds.
Correct seasoning and pour sauce over meat or serve it from a sauceboat.

Serving

Carve roast in the kitchen and lay it out on a serving dish. If coated with the sauce, then dust with chopped parsley. Serve with thin potato chips, Sweet Potato Cakes, and a green salad. A smooth rich red wine is an excellent accompaniment.
