No. 4071 — Herring Brine as a Substitute for Sardines in Sauces
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 4071 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Strain fresh herring brine first through a sieve and then through tightly woven linen.
Bottle and cork it securely for use in sauces as a substitute for sardines.
Historical editorial note: Used fish brine is not necessarily microbiologically safe and must not be treated as a validated shelf-stable condiment.
