First you must put in boiling water, and take it out quickly and stick it with cloves; put it on to roast, and baste it with a sauce made of spices, that is, ginger, cinnamon, clove, grain, long pepper and nutmegs, mixed with verjuice, wine, and vinegar, and without boiling use it to baste; and when it is roasted, it should be boiled up together. And this sauce is called boar’s tail, and you will find it later (and there it is thickened with bread: and here, not).
