Meat-Balls
12 lbs. pork shoulder
23 lbs. beef
1 quart cream “table” (I think this means the cream you would use at table)
2 cups corn starch
2 cups cracker crumbs
1 ¼ cup salt
3 teaspoons ginger
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons nutmeg
½ teaspoon cloves
A little sage
6 large onions
Method: Chop onions fine & pan fry until a light golden color. Then mix all together and work it well.
Brown in pan on top of stove. Take from pan & put in a kettle & cover with water and boil until done. It makes swell gravy. Add a couple of bay leaves to the water they are boiling in. For the little batch we would make it, would only be a pinch of each of the spices.

Don’t try to force it; leave in a warm place & it will rise in five hrs. Then knead it and put in pans to raise again until it is quite high. Bake one hour in a medium oven 325 or 350degrees. This makes 2 loaves.
