half a pint of wine, and same of vinegar. Let it stay in this pickle for a day
or two, if the weather is cold. When it is wanted, wash it, dry it, and roast
it, or it may be cut into steaks, or made into a pie like venison. Sugar is a
great preservative, and gives a finer flavor than salt, which hardens delicate
meats. Salt drains out the juices of mutton or lamb.
