MINT SAUCE. OYSTER SAUCE. 24 oysters. 2 oz. butter. 1 oz. flour. 1 pint milk. 1 lemon. 1 table-spoonful cream. Cayenne pepper. Salt. Take the liquor which runs from the oysters when they are opened, and scald the oysters in it. Pick out the oysters, heard them, and lay them aside. Prepare the sauce with the butter, flour, and milk, as above directed ; add the liquor strained. Boil for three minutes, draw the pan to the side of the fire, put in the oysters, and season with salt, Cayenne popper, and lemon-juice. When hot, but not boiling, add the cream and serve at once. BREAD SAUCE. 1 pint milk. s pint bread crumbs. 2 oz. butter. 1 onion. 6 cloves. 1 teaspoonful salt. Skin and scald the onion, stick the cloves into it, and put it in a saucepan by the side of the fire, with the milk and salt. Let stand for half an hour, or until the onion has slightly flavoured the milk. Take out the onion and cloves. Add the bread crumbs gradually, stirring all the time ; next add the butter. Let the sauce simmer for five minutes for the bread to swell, stirring until it is smooth and thick. APPLE SAUCE. 6 large apples. 1 oz. butter. 1 table-spoonful water. 2 table-spoonfuls moist sugar. A little grated nutmeg. Pare and cut down good baking apples, being careful to remove the cores. Put them in a saucepan to stew, with the sugar, butter, and water. Stew them till they are quite soft and reduced to a pulp. If they appear too moist, pour the water away. Then beat them to a smooth pulp, and serve hot.
