Pink sauce

Mix together half a pint of port wine, half a pint of strong vinegar, the juice and grated peel of two large lemons, a quarter of an ounce of cayenne, a dozen blades of mace, and a quarter of an ounce of powdered cochineal.

Eat it with any sort of fish or game. It will give a fine pink tinge to melted butter.
