Sardines, Potted

Take a small box of sardines--either smoked or plain--free them from skin and bone, pound them with about half their weight of fresh butter; add cayenne and a grate of nutmeg, and just a drop or two of essence of anchovies. When quite smooth, press them firmly into small jars, and pour clarified butter over the top. Set aside in a cool place.
