Leamington Sauce. — Be very particular in choosing the walnuts as soon as they appear in the market ; for they are more easily bruised before they become hard and shelled. Pound them in a mortar to a pulp, strew some salt over them, and let them remain thus for two or three days, occasionally stirring and moving them about. Press out the juice, and to each quart walnut-liquor allow three quarts vinegar, one pint soy, one ounce cayenne, tow ounces shallots, three-fourth ounce garlic, and half pint cooking wine

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
