Number Of Ingredients 11

1 calf's head, skinned
4 calf feet, skinned
1 gallon water
2 small onions
3 cloves
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon peppercorn
3 bay leaves
1/2 lemon, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons salt
3 eggs, hard cooked, peeled and chopped

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except eggs in a large kettle; bring to boiling point and simmer for 6 hours.
  • Strain through a sieve; remove meat from bones and brains from head.
  • When cold, cut the meat and brains into small pieces.
  • Remove fat from broth and let the strained liquid stand in the refrigerator until completely cooled (the broth should turn into a firm jelly).
  • Place over heat and melt slowly.
  • Bring to the boiling point and boil hard for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and strain through a cheesecloth; do not squeeze as the object is a very clear jelly.
  • Add the chopped meat, brains and hard cooked eggs to the liquid.

  • Chill until firm.
  • Unmold, slice and serve.
