To make _Orange-Butter._ From the same.
Take Hogs-Lard (or as in some Places, call'd Hogs-Seame) wash this well in
Spring-Water, beating it all the while with a piece of Wood; then take
Orange-Flowers, fresh gather'd, and melt the Lard gently, and put about a
quarter of a pound of the Flowers into a pound of Lard; let them remain ten
Minutes, gently keeping them warm over the Fire; then strain it off, and
when the Lard is again cold, beat it, and wash it with Orange-Flower-Water.
Then melt it gently a second time, and put in fresh Flowers, in the same
manner as before, and it will become of a yellow Colour; and, when it is
cool, beat it again with a wooden Paddle and Orange-Flower-Water, and then
put it into Pots for use. I should remark, that the Lard should be melted
by putting it in a glazed Vessel, and melting it by putting the Vessel into
boiling Water.
To make Flour of _Mustard._
Those who live in the Country, or go to Sea, have frequent occasion to use
Mustard, when there is no opportunity of getting it without extraordinary
Trouble. It is a Sauce seldom thought on till the Minute we want it; and
then, according to the old Way of making it, if we are lucky enough to have
Mustard-Seed in the House, we must spend an Hour in the Ceremony of
grinding it in a wooden Bowl, and an Iron Cannon-Bullet, according to the
old Custom; or, if we have Mustard by us, ready made, if it has stood a
Week, it is then of no value, if it is in small quantity.
