Buttery Oyster Stew Recipe

Instructions Clean oysters by placing them in a colander and pouring over them 3/4 cup cold water. Carefully pick over oysters, reserve liquor, and heat it to boiling-point. Strain through double cheesecloth, add oysters, and cook until oysters are plump and edges begin to curl. Remove oysters with skimmer and put them in a pot with butter, salt, and pepper. Add oyster liquor, strained a second time, and milk. Serve with oyster crackers. .
