  1. An old fowl, 3 pints water, a pinch of salt, a blade of mace, 6 or 8 peppercorns, a very small chopped onion, a few sprigs sweet herbs.
  2. Cut up the fowl and pnt it, bones as well, in a saucepan with the water, salt, mace, peppercorns, onion and sweet herbs;
  3. let it simmer very gently till the meat is very tender, which will take about 3 hours, skimming well during the time.
