• A saltspoonful of Salt
• Half a saltspoonful of Pepper
• Two ounces of Butter
• Three Anchovies preserved in oil

   Butter the inside of a quart stone jar, and put the meat into it cut up in pieces; tie all the spice up in a piece of muslin, and put them also into the jar.

2. 2

   Tie the cover on to the jar, and bake in a moderate oven for two hours.
