TO STEW OYSTERS.
Take a hundred oysters; put them in a stew pan, with boiling water enough to cover them; stir them till they are plump; then take them out with a strainer; add half as much juice as there is water in the pot, with some mace, whole grains of pepper, and salt, half pint of cream, and piece of butter; two crackers rolled very fine, which sprinkle in; then put in the oysters, and keep stirring for a few minutes, when they will be done.
