Oysters, Preserved, How to Cook

Open the tin, take out the oysters carefully, and put them on a hot dish in the oven, so that they may be gradually warmed. Strain the liquor which was with them in the tin, and put it into a saucepan with the same quantity of milk and a little salt and cayenne, and let it get quite hot, then thicken it with a little flour and butter, and let it boil. Strain it over the oysters, and serve immediately. Send pepper and vinegar to table with this dish. Time, a quarter of an hour. Probable cost, 9d. Sufficient for five or six persons.
