This recipe was extracted from Miss Corson's practical American cookery and household management (1885) by Juliet Corson, page 198. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

ROAST GUINEA-FOWL. When guinea-fowl is young and tender, it is vfery nice. To dress it, pluck it carefully, singe it, draw it without breaking the entrails, and wipe it with a wet towel; if stuffing is desired, use any of the force-meats already given for duck or goose, omitting the sage. Roast the birds before an open fire, or bake them in a hot oven, seasoning them, after they are brown, with salt and pepper; cook them rather well done, and then serve them hot, with plenty of currant-jelly

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
