Walnut Catsup
100 walnuts 7 ounces shallots 1 head garlic 1/2 pound salt 2 quarts vinegar 2 ounces anchovies 2 ounces pepper 1/4 ounce mace 1/2 ounce cloves
Beat in a large mortar a hundred green walnuts until they are thoroughly broken; then put them into a jar with six ounces of shallots cut into pieces, a head of garlic, two quarts of vinegar and the half pound of salt; let them stand for a fortnight, stirring them twice a day. Strain off the liquor, put into a stew pan with the anchovies, whole pepper, half an ounce of cloves and a quarter ounce of mace; boil it half an hour, skimming it well. Strain it off, and, when cold, pour it clear from any sediment into small bottles, cork it down closely and store it in a dry place. The sediment can be used for flavoring sauces.
