To Roast

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Keep the meat at a distance from the fire to heat through before roasting.

  2. Draw the meat closer to the fire at a moderate distance.

  3. Roast for 15 minutes per pound, basting frequently.

  4. To check if done, insert a skewer at the bone; if blood oozes out, it is not done.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
