Sauce for Cod's Head

Take a lobster, stick a skewer through the tail, to keep the water out; throw a handful of salt in the water. When it boils put in the lobster and boil half an hour; pick off the spawns, if any and pound them very fine in a marble mortar and put them in one-half pound drawn butter. Take the meat out of the lobster, pull it in bits and put it in your butter; add: 1 spoonful walnut catsup. 1 slice of lemon. 1 or 2 slices horseradish. A little pounded mace. Salt and cayenne pepper.

Boil them one minute; then take out the lemon and horseradish, and serve it up in the sauce-boat.--Mrs. R.
