Hanover Sauce

Place the boiled liver of a chicken in a mortar and pound it, then mix with it the juice of half a lemon, one breakfast cupful of cream, and salt and pepper to taste; stir the sauce over the fire in a saucepan until it is on the point of boiling, then move it to the side and let it simmer for a minute or two. Serve while hot.
