jam turnover will be just the right sort of substantial dish to follow the beef. For this you must have a bag. Rub four ounces of lard or good dripping into half a pound of flour salted to taste till it crumbles well. Add sufficient cold water to make to a stiff paste; roll out twice. Mark out a square and spread this thickly with any kind of jam liked. Fold over the two sides first and pinch well together. Now fold over the two sides in the same way. Brush over with water or milk, and sprinkle well with brown sugar
