Raisin Stuffing

(4- to 5-pound cured pork shoulder)

1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 cup finely cut celery and leaves
2 tablespoons chopped parsley


2 tablespoons fat
½ pound raisins
2½ cups soft bread crumbs
Salt to taste


Cook the onion, celery, and parsley in the fat for a few minutes. Mix the raisins thoroughly with the bread crumbs and stir into the cooked vegetables. Salt lightly if at all. If desired, add the grated rind of one-half lemon.

For a 9- to 10-pound, long-cut shoulder, double the quantity of stuffing.


Mint Stuffing

1½ tablespoons chopped onion
3 tablespoons chopped celery and leaves
4 tablespoons fat


½ cup fresh mint leaves
3 cups soft bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste


Cook the onion and celery for a few minutes in the fat. Then stir in the mint leaves and bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper, and mix all the ingredients together until hot. This quantity of stuffing is for the cushion-style shoulder.

For a rolled shoulder use one-half the quantity of bread crumbs and of other ingredients.
