Tomato Sauce. No. 1 (Bottled).
Pull off their stalks, and put the tomatoes into a stewpan on the fire or in the oven till tender; then run them through a sieve and return them to the stewpan.
To 6 doz. tomatoes, add 6 cloves of garlic, 3 or 4 blades of mace, a teaspoonful of cayenne, and ½ pt. vinegar. Boil all together till as thick as onion sauce, and add a spoonful of salt. Put the sauce into wide-mouthed bottles, cork down, and tie a bladder over.
When required for use, take the best stock, a piece of butter, and some flour with some of this tomato sauce, and boil it up.
