MRS. JOHN MARKOE, PHILADELPHIA (1820).
_Contributed by Mrs. William Ruckman Philler, Philadelphia, Pa._
Boil down an old fowl or a knuckle of veal, or what is cheaper, a set of calf’s feet, till you have a quart of jelly. There should be an onion, some mace, pepper and salt boiled with it. Strain off the liquor, let it cool and then take off the fat. Put 50 sand clams washed (the middle size are best) into a pot over the fire till they open. Strain the liquor which you will find in the pot, and add it to the meat jelly. Put in the clams also, and let all boil an hour and a quarter. Then add ½ pint good cream or milk, a piece of butter as big as a walnut, mixed with a little flour. Stir these well in the soup. Have ready in a tureen the yolks of 2 eggs beaten and some chopped parsley, pour the soup in, a little at first till the eggs are well mixed, and then the remainder.
