Potted Lobster

Procure a large cooked lobster or two small ones, pick out all the meat and place it with the spawn in the mortar, pound it to a paste, then mix with it one-fourth pound of fresh butter, a little pounded mace and cloves, pepper, salt and grated nutmeg. When thoroughly mixed fill some jars with the preparation, press it down tightly, leaving about one-fourth inch space at the top, and fill it up with clarified butter. When quite cold tie the jars over with white paper, and keep them in a dry closet until required for use.
