Red Currant Sauce

Take a handful of red currants and boil in water for a few minutes; add one ounce of butter, four cloves, three tablespoonfuls of sifted breadcrumbs and one wineglassful of port wine; stir until it boils, and serve very hot. One ounce of grocer's currants are sometimes used instead of red currants in making this sauce.
