[stakes] 

To broil a Beef-Stake.
Take slices of tender beef one inch thick, put on hot coals 15 minutes; turn the stake if possible without introducing a fork; pepper and salt as may be agreeable: butter when done will render it palatable.






To dress a Beef-Stake, sufficient for two Gentlemen, with a fire made of two newspapers.


Let the beef be cut in slices, and laid in a pewter platter, pour on water just sufficient to cover them, salt and pepper well cover with another platter inverted; then place your newspapers into small strips, light with a candle and apply them gradually so as to keep a live fire under the whole dish, till the whole be done; butter may then be applied, so to render it grateful.






Veal Stake.


Take slices of real half an inch think, broil 20 minutes with a live fire, salt and pepper, dust on flour when broiling; when done butter added will make a beautiful gravy.

To keep Damsons.





















Take damsons when they are first ripe, pick them carefully, wipe them clean, put them into snuff[?] bottles, stop them up tight so that no air can get to them, nor water; put nothing into the bottles but plumbs; put the bottles into cold water, handthem over the fire, let them heat slowly, let the water boil slowly, for half an hour, when the water is cold take out the bottles, set the bottles into a cold place, they will keep twelve months if the bottles are stopped tight, so as no air nor water can get to them.  They will not keep long after the bottles are opened; the plumbs must be hard.    American Cookery  Amelia Simmons  1796   Albany  New York
