Devilled Lobster.

1 can of preserved lobster.

3 tablespoonfuls of butter.

4 tablespoonfuls of vinegar.

½ teaspoonful of made mustard.

A good pinch of cayenne pepper.

Boiled eggs for garnishing.

Salt.

Open the lobster-can and empty it into a bowl an hour before using it. Mince evenly. Put vinegar, butter and seasoning into a saucepan, and when it simmers, add the lobster. Cook slowly, covered, half an hour, stirring occasionally. Turn into a deep dish, and garnish with slices of egg. Eat hot with buttered Boston crackers.
