Instructions

  1. Wash the anchovies thoroughly; bone and dry them, and pound them in a mortar to a paste.
  2. Mix the butter gradually with them, and rub the whole through a sieve.
  3. Put it by in small pots for use, and carefully exclude the air with a bladder, as it soon changes the colour of anchovies, besides spoiling them.
