Ingredients

  • 1/2 pint of melted butter
  • 3 tablespoonfuls of capers
  • 1 tablespoonful of their liquor

Directions

1

382. INGREDIENTS.--1/2 pint of melted butter (No. 376), 3 tablespoonfuls of capers or nasturtiums, 1 tablespoonful of their liquor.

2

_Mode_.--Chop the capers twice or thrice, and add them, with their liquor, to 1/2 pint of melted butter, made very smoothly; keep stirring well; let the sauce just simmer, and serve in a tureen. Pickled nasturtium-pods are fine-flavoured, and by many are eaten in preference to capers. They make an excellent sauce.

3

_Time_.--2 minutes to simmer. _Average cost_ for this quantity, 8d.

4

_Sufficient_ to serve with a leg of mutton.
