Madeira Sauce

Mix together one small glassful of mushroom liquor and a pint of Espagnole sauce and a small glass of Madeira wine; add a bouquet garnished and a small teaspoonful of red pepper, carefully remove all fat and cook for half an hour, which will leave the sauce in rather a liquid consistency, when it should be strained and is ready for use when needed.
