Method

  1. Lard the fillet and poële it.
  2. Glaze it just before dishing up, and set it on a long dish.
  3. Send to the table, separately, a Madeira sauce finished with the poëling-liquor of the fillet, to which add (per pint of the sauce) three tablespoonfuls of red-currant jelly;
  4. two tablespoonfuls of finely-grated horse-radish, or the latter finely grated first, and then chopped;
  5. thirty moderately-sweetened cherries, set to soak in tepid water seven or eight minutes beforehand, and drained just before being added to the sauce.
