Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. one half cup of port wine

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. Trim off the superfluous fat of either mutton or lamb chops, dip them in beaten ^%%, then fine rolled bread crumbs, arrange in baking pan, and bake for twenty minutes;
  2. when done, remove and put in the pan small quantity of water, one half cup of port wine in which one table-spoon of currant jelly has been melted.
  3. Pour over the chops and serve very hot.
