To make Head Cheese
Take a Beef's Head. Cutt off
the Nose & destroy it, Cleanse
the other part well, then boil
it until half done, after this
if you have the upper half of an
hogs head put that to it &
let it all boil together until
you can shake the bones from
the Meat ~ then put all the
flesh into a Pail or Kealer, add
the seasoning & stir it well
together, then tie it up in a
Napkin, set it by & lay a weight
of about 20 pounds upon it to
press it & in 24 hours it will be
fit for use ~ you may add
the feet to it, but they must
be boil'd half Done before they
are put to boil with the Rest.
