Potted Trout

Clean one dozen or so of small trout, wash well, dry on a cloth, sprinkle them over with one ounce of white pepper, half that quantity of powdered cloves, one-fourth ounce of cayenne and a small quantity of mace. Put the trout, backs downward, into an earthenware jar or pot, pour over two pounds or so of clarified butter, place the jar in a slack oven and bake for about four hours. When done take it out and the fish are ready for use.
