The next gravy ingredient after the white wine vinegar and capers for the receipt (recipe) To roast a Shoulder of Mutton are five to six blades of Mace. Mace is the covering of the seed (aril) that will mature to a nutmeg. The covering is scarlet red when harvested and dries to color pictured. The entire aril when dried is called a blade of mace. And yes this mace is the same ingredient used for the self-defense spray-mace.
