Excerpt from The New Bedford Practical Receipt Book Take a round of beef that weighs twenty pounds, cut out the bone and wrap the skin over so as to make a handsome round. Wash and drain it; grate a large nutmeg, as much salt and a little less of pounded cloves, mix them together and rub over the sides of the meat well. Then pour over three pints of Claret or Port wine, and let it remain all night. Take a long piece of strong cloth the width of the beef, wind it round very tight and sew it. Make the stuff ing of two pounded crackers, sweet marjoram, pepper, salt, a nutmeg, butter, wine and one or two eggs, cut deep holes in it and put in the stuffing. Then rub over as much spice and salt as you did before. Put a piece of twine or tape over it, that it may more easily be taken from the pot. Place a drainer in the bottom and put in the beef with about half of the wine, adding the remainder mixed with three pints of water.
