CHOP the face in many places, and wash it
in several waters, then boil it till the meat will
leave the bones, take out the bones, cut open the
ears, and take out the ear roots, cut the meat in
pieces, and season it with pepper and salt; while
it is hot put it into an earthen pot, and set the
ears round the outside of the meat, put a board
on that will go in the inside of the pot, and set
a heavy weight upon it, and let it stand all night,
the next day turn it out, cut it round-ways, and
it will look close and bright.
