Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoonfuls of harvey's sauce
  • 1 tablespoonful of lemon-juice
  • 1/4 teaspoonful of cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 pint of melted butter made
  • 1/2 pint of melted butter by recipe
  • 1 glass of port wine
  • 1 dessertspoonful of mushroom ketchup
  • 1 crab
  • salt
  • mace
  • cayenne

Directions

1

394. INGREDIENTS.-1 glass of port wine, 2 tablespoonfuls of Harvey's sauce, 1 dessertspoonful of mushroom ketchup, ditto of pounded white sugar, 1 tablespoonful of lemon-juice, 1/4 teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, ditto of salt.

2

_Mode_.--Mix all the ingredients thoroughly together, and heat the sauce gradually, by placing the vessel in which it is made in a saucepan of boiling water. Do not allow it to boil, and serve directly it is ready. This sauce, if bottled immediately, will keep good for a fortnight, and will be found excellent.

3

CONSOMME, or WHITE STOCK FOR MANY SAUCES.

4

395. Consommé is made precisely in the same manner as stock No. 107, and, for ordinary purposes, will be found quite good enough. When, however, a stronger stock is desired, either put in half the quantity of water, or double that of the meat. This is a very good foundation for all white sauces.

5

CRAB SAUCE FOR FISH (equal to Lobster Sauce).

6

396. INGREDIENTS.--1 crab; salt, pounded mace, and cayenne to taste; 1/2 pint of melted butter made with milk (_see_ No. 380).

7

_Mode_.--Choose a nice fresh crab, pick all the meat away from the shell, and cut it into small square pieces. Make 1/2 pint of melted butter by recipe No. 380, put in the fish and seasoning; let it gradually warm through, and simmer for 2 minutes. It should not boil.

_Average cost_, 1s. 2d.
