Grandma Merrill's Oyster Stew

Dad said his mom used to fix Oyster Stew every Sunday for dinner. He wasn't fond of it as a child but eventually acquired a taste for it. When he would complain about eating the oysters, Grandma would say "You might as well eat the devil as drink his broth."


3/4 gallon of whole milk
8 oz. can of oysters
salt and pepper to taste (approximately 1 tsp. of salt and 1/8 tsp. of pepper)
2 Tbsp. buter
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

Drain oyster juice into the milk. Cook oyster in butter in skillet then add oysters and Worcestershire Sauce to the milk. Cook until starts to boil, then turn off.
