To Draw Good Gravy
Origin: London, England
Source: Anonymous, 1846
Ingredients
- gravy beef
- water
Instructions
- Cut some gravy beef into small pieces and put them in a jar.
- Set it in a saucepan of cold water to boil gently for seven or eight hours, adding from time to time more water as the original quantity boils away.
- The gravy thus made will be the essence of the meat, and in cases where nutriment is required in the smallest compass will be of great service.
- Soups are stronger when the meat is cut, and gravy drawn before water is added.
