227. INGREDIENTS.--2 dozen anchovies, 1/2 lb. of fresh butter.

_Mode_.--Wash the anchovies thoroughly; bone and dry them, and pound them in a mortar to a paste. Mix the butter gradually with them, and rub the whole through a sieve. Put it by in small pots for use, and carefully exclude the air with a bladder, as it soon changes the colour of anchovies, besides spoiling them. _Average cost_ for this quantity, 2s. POTTED ANCHOVIES. POTTED ANCHOVIES are made in the same way, by adding pounded mace, cayenne, and nutmeg to taste. ANCHOVY TOAST.
