Mushroom Catsup (Take the largest mushrooms cut)

Take the largest mushrooms, cut off the roots, put them in a stone jar, with salt; mash them and cover the jar. Let them stand two days, stirring them several times a day; then strain and boil the liquor, to every quart of which put one teaspoonful whole pepper, cloves, mustard-seed, a little ginger; when cold bottle it, leaving room in each bottle for one teacupful strong vinegar, and one tablespoonful brandy.

Mushroom Sauce.

After peeling, lay them on the oyster broiler and sprinkle with a little salt. Have ready a hot dish with butter, pepper, salt, and cream, and throw the mushrooms into this as they are taken from the broiler. A very nice sauce for steaks.--Mrs. J. S.
