Ingredients

  • one pint of oyster meats
  • a tablespoonful of salt
  • a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper
  • a gill of cider vinegar
  • one teacupful of sherry
  • salt
  • cayenne
  • mace

Directions

1

One pint of oyster meats, one teacupful of sherry, a tablespoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, the same of powdered mace, a gill of cider vinegar.

2

Procure the oysters very fresh and open sufficient to fill a pint measure; save the liquor and scald the oysters in it with the sherry; strain the oysters and chop them fine with the salt, cayenne and mace, until reduced to a pulp; then add it to the liquor in which they were scalded; boil it again five minutes and skim well; rub the whole through a sieve, and, when cold, bottle and cork closely. The corks should be sealed.
