Sometimes the liquor and seasoning are boiled together, and allowed to get cold before being used. The mar- inade can then be employed again and again, if it be boiled occasionally. When a small quantity only is re- quired, the marinade is used raw. Marinade, Cooked. — Fry two on- ions, two carrots, two bay-leaves, three shallots, a bunch of parsley, a sprig of thyme, and a clove of garlic in 3 ozs of butter. Pour on one quart of water and one quart of vinegar, and boil for three minutes. Add pepper and salt, and store for use. Marinade, Raw (for small portions of food, such as fillets of fish and slices of poultry). — Put a faggot of herbs with a little pepper and salt into a dish ; pour on it a gill of vinegar and a table-spoonful of oil. If liked, onion may be used instead of or as well as herbs. Marinaded Eggs. Marlboro Tarts. Marmalades. Marrons. Marsh-mallows. See Eggs. See Pies. See Preserves. See Chestnuts.

When as smooth as you can get it, add an equal weight of confectioner's white sugar, or honey, and put it on the stove in a porcelain saucepan or in a double boiler, continually stirring and smooth- ing and pressing it together with a big wooden spoon. Whether sugar or honey, work it together till it no longer clings to the side of the sauce- pan and has become a tolerably compact mass ; then remove from the fire, and after it is sufficiently cool pour it out on a clean bread-board, and work into it, as if it were a lump of dough, another pound of the sugar ; and that done, roll it into a long strip from a quarter to a half inch thick, and cut it into lozenge - shaped or circular cakes two or three inches in diameter, put a narrow rim of the paste round the cake, and then set it into a warm oven, but not a hot one, just long enough to give it the faintest color imaginable, or let it dry off naturally, and so keep it snow-white. It is now good enough to set before the king without any- thing more. Mayonnaise Dressing. See Salads ; also Sauces.
