Posnet for Wine Sauce

The Light Dumplings (see a Most Interesting Sight post) were served with E. Leslie’s Wine Sauce.  The posnet (sharing embers with the bake kettle) is being used to have ready some rich thick melted butter.  The moment it is taken from the fire, two large glasses of white wine, two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and a powdered nutmeg were added. The Light Dumplings are in the kettle on the right in individual cloths with all the strings wrapped to the S hook.
