Salad Dressing (Put one tumbler vinegar)

Put one tumbler vinegar, and one lump butter, size of an egg, on to boil. Beat up the yolks of three or four eggs, and pour the boiling vinegar over them, stirring all the time; return it to the fire and continue to stir, until it thickens like custard. When it is perfectly cold add one tumblerful cream, into which has been mixed one tablespoonful salt, one tablespoonful mustard, two spoonfuls sugar, and one spoonful bruised celery-seed. Bottle the dressing and it will keep for a month.--Mrs. P.
