Wash, trim, scrape the roots and cut them up fine. Boil till tender,
mash and season with pepper, salt, bread crumbs, butter, and milk. Put
in a dish and bake brown.--_Mrs. A. P._
TO STEW SALSIFY.
Scrape and throw at once in water to prevent from turning dark. Boil
till tender in a closely covered vessel. Drain off the water and cut
the salsify in pieces half an inch long. Throw in a saucepan with
1 teacup vinegar.
1 teacup water.
1 tablespoonful sugar.
1 tablespoonful butter.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Just before serving, add the yolk of an egg, beaten up and mixed with
a little water. The seasoning above given is for one quart
salsify.--_Mrs. S. T._
_Another Way to Stew Salsify._
Prepare the salsify exactly as in the foregoing recipe. Boil till
tender, drain and cut in pieces, half an inch long, and then stew in
milk. Just before serving, add a tablespoonful of butter, rolled in a
teaspoonful flour. Let it boil up once. Pepper and salt it, grate
cracker over it and serve.--_Mrs. S. T._
TO FRY SALSIFY.
Prepare as for stewing. When perfectly tender, run through a colander.
Add grated cracker, two eggs, well beaten, one tablespoonful vinegar,
one tablespoonful butter, one teaspoonful salt, one teaspoonful sugar,
a little pepper. Make into oval cakes, roll in grated cracker, and fry
a light brown.--_Mrs. S. T._
TO BOIL CABBAGE WITH BACON.
Quarter a head of hard white cabbage, examine for insects, lay in salt
and water several hours. An hour before dinner, drain and put in a pot
in which bacon has been boiling--a pod of red pepper boiled with it
will make it more wholesome and improve the flavor of both bacon and
cabbage.--_Mrs. S. T._
CABBAGE BOILED WITHOUT BACON.
Prepare exactly as directed in the foregoing recipe.
Boil an hour in a large pot of boiling water. Drain, chop fine, add a
tablespoonful butter, the same of cream, the same of pepper-vinegar,
and salt and pepper to your taste.--_Mrs. S. T._
CABBAGE PUDDING.
Boil nice, hard, white cabbage with good bacon.
When thoroughly done, chop fine and add a large lump of butter, one
teacup rich milk, three eggs beaten light, two teaspoonfuls mixed
mustard; pepper and salt to the taste.
Pour in a buttered deep dish; put on top dusted pepper, bits of fresh
butter, and grated cracker or stale bread.
Bake a light brown.--_Mrs. M. C. C._
_Cabbage Pudding._
Boil the cabbage till tender, chop fine and add four eggs, well
beaten, one pound bread crumbs, one teacup melted butter, milk enough
to make it as thick as mush, salt and pepper to the taste. Bake in a
dish till the eggs and milk are cooked.--_Mrs. McD._
WARM SLAW.
Cut the cabbage very fine and sprinkle over it a tablespoonful flour.
Put a piece of butter, the size of an egg, in the oven to melt. Salt
and pepper the cabbage and put it in the oven with the butter. Mix
half a teacup of cream with the same quantity of vinegar, pour it over
the cabbage and heat thoroughly.--_Mrs. S. G._
