Directions

1

133—CAMBRIDGE SAUCE

2

Pound together the yolks of six hard-boiled eggs, the washed and dried fillets of four anchovies, a teaspoonful of capers, a dessertspoonful of chervil, tarragon, and chives, mixed. When the whole forms a fine paste, add one tablespoonful of mustard, one-fifth pint of oil, one tablespoonful of vinegar, and proceed as for a Mayonnaise. Season with a little cayenne; rub through tammy, applying pressure with a spoon, and put the sauce in a bowl. Stir it awhile with a whisk to smooth it, and finish with one teaspoonful of chopped parsley.

3

It is suited to cold meats in general; in fact, it is an Anglicised version of Vincent Sauce.

4

134—CUMBERLAND SAUCE

5

Dissolve four tablespoonfuls of red-currant jelly, to which are added one-fifth pint of port wine, one teaspoonful of finely-chopped shallots, scalded for a few seconds and pressed, one teaspoonful of small pieces of orange rind and as much lemon rind (cut finely, _Julienne-fashion_, scalded for two minutes, well-drained, and cooled), the juice of an orange and that of half a lemon, one teaspoonful of mustard, a little cayenne pepper, and as much powdered ginger. Mix the whole well.

6

Serve this sauce with cold venison.

7

135—GLOUCESTER SAUCE

8

Take one pint of very thick Mayonnaise and complete it with one-fifth pint of sour cream with the juice of a lemon added, and combine with the Mayonnaise by degrees; one teaspoonful of chopped fennel and as much Worcester sauce.

9

Serve this with all cold meats.

10

136—MINT SAUCE

11

Cut finely, _Julienne-fashion_, or chop, two oz. of mint leaves. Put these in a bowl with a little less than one oz. of white cassonade or castor sugar, one-quarter pint of fresh vinegar, and four tablespoonfuls of water.

12

Special sauce for hot or cold lamb.

13

137—OXFORD SAUCE

14

Make a Cumberland sauce according to No. 134, with this difference: that the _Julienne_ of orange and lemon rinds should be replaced by rasped or finely-chopped rinds, and that the quantities of same should be less, _i.e._, two-thirds of a teaspoonful of each.

15

138—HORSE-RADISH SAUCE

16

Dilute one tablespoonful of mustard with two tablespoonfuls of vinegar in a basin, and add one lb. of finely-rasped horse-radish, two oz. of powdered sugar, a little salt, one pint of cream, and one lb. of bread-crumb steeped in milk and pressed. Serve this sauce very cold.

17

It accompanies boiled and roast joints of beef.
