Put them in a stew- pan with J pint of French vinegar, 1J pints of water, 1 ounce of salt ; add 12 white peppercorns, 12 cloves, a few blades of mace, a nutmeg grated, the peel of a lemon grated, the juice of the lemon, 2 spoonfuls of ketchup, and 2 glasses of white wine. Set the pan over a slow fire, and let the contents simmer about 1 hour. Meanwhile prepare your tripe. This you get ready dressed, and with the coarser part of the fat removed by the tripe-seller. Put 2 pounds of it
