755. INGREDIENTS.--Lamb; a little salt.

_Mode_.--Have ready a clear brisk fire, and put down the joint at a sufficient distance from it, that the fat may not burn. Keep constantly basting until done, and serve with a little gravy made in the dripping-pan, and send mint sauce to table with it. Peas, spinach, or cauliflowers are the usual vegetables served with lamb, and also a fresh salad. _Time_.--A shoulder of lamb rather more than 1 hour. _Average cost_, 10s. to 1s. per lb. _Sufficient_ for 4 or 5 persons. _Seasonable_ from Easter to Michaelmas. SHOULDER OF LAMB STUFFED.
