1/4 cup dry cooking sherry

Cooking directions for oyster stew
In a 4 quart sauce pan, combine oysters, oyster juice, 2/3 butter stick, worchestershire sauce, sherry and milk. Heat on low until the oysters start to curl up on their edges. When oysters are almost completely curled, add cream. Bring the temperature up to where it almost boils. Be careful not to boil rapidly. The heavy cream and milk will burn if not careful. Reduce heat and add other 1/3 stick of butter, salt and pepper with optional tabasco sauce. Serve hot. It also taste great as a leftover.
cooking time: 15 minutes to 20 minutes
serves: 4
Serve with oyster crackers or saltines.
Bon Appetite!
