BROILED VENISON STEAK.--Venison steaks should be broiled over a clear
fire, turning often. It requires more cooking than beef. When
sufficiently done season with salt and pepper, pour over two
tablespoonfuls of currant jelly, melted with a piece of butter. Serve
hot on hot plates. Delicious steaks, corresponding to the shape of
mutton chops are cut from the loin.--Mrs. C. C. Mackenroth.
ROAST VENISON.--Rub the saddle or haunch of venison with a damp cloth
and then rub in butter. Make a thick paste of flour and water and

paper or one of the new cooking paper bags over the roast and put the
meat in the roasting pan with one cupful of hot water. Lift the paper
and baste every fifteen minutes with melted butter and hot water. Roast
in a hot oven until the meat is tender, then remove the paper and the
coat of paste. Dredge the meat with flour, one teaspoonful of salt and
pepper and baste with pan drippings and butter until meat is nicely
browned. Add a pint of hot water to the drippings and thicken with
flour for a gravy. Add a pinch of cloves, nutmeg and mace and stir in a
glass of currant jelly until it is dissolved. Strain and serve with the
meat. Venison cooked this way will be moist instead of dry and
