seasoned flour and fry in oil
to a deep golden brown; transfer
to a deep oven-proof dish, pour
over enough stock to cover,
add onion, herbs, mace &
nutmeg. Cover with lid, bring
to a boil and place in 350 degree
oven for 3 hours. Serve garnished
with diced, fried liver. Strain
the cooking liquid into a pan
and reboil. Add jelly and pour
a little of the liquid into
the blood, stirring until smooth.
Blend blood into gravy had heat
to thicken, but do not boil;
add port or claret, season with
salt & pepper, and pour
over the meat.
