Mint Sauce

Take only the young, tender leaves, not a bit of stem, and chop very fine indeed. To two tablespoonfuls add a table-spoonful and a half of brown sugar and three of vinegar. It should be quite thick, not as we so often see it - vinegar with a few bits of mint floating around.

Take two tablespoonfuls of Spanish sauce, and dissolve in it a good teaspoonful of gelatine softened in cold stock, a table-spoonful of aspic, and one of thick mint sauce. If no aspic is ready, it is not worth while to make for the small quantity needed; a teaspoonful of glaze, two of gelatine, and half a wineglass of Sauterne may be dissolved together to take its place. No gelatine will be needed with the Spanish sauce in this case.
