There are several ways to stew oysters. Two recipes are given below.
2 dozen (24 ea.) raw, whole oysters
2 oz (55 g) butter
¼ cup cream
¼ tsp mace
2 bay leaves
Salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, to taste
Shuck the oysters, saving any liquid in the oyster.
Put your oysters with all their liquid into a saucepan; add the butter, salt, black pepper, mace, and bay leaves.
Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cream and shake all well together while heating through.

Pour onto a plate or platter, grating a little fresh nutmeg on each oyster as it lies in the sauce.
