Tarragon Butter

Mince some tarragon leaves, put one tablespoonful of them into a mortar, pound well and work in one-fourth pound of butter, a squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Rub the preparation through a fine hair-sieve and it is then ready for use, and should be served with soles and mackerel.
