_Warm Slaw._
Cut the cabbage (hard red is best) as for cold slaw. Put in a saucepan
one-quarter pound butter, two gills water, three gills vinegar, one
teaspoonful salt, and a little cayenne pepper. If you like, add a
garlic, minced fine. When this mixture has come to a boil, pour it
boiling hot over the cabbage, and cover it five or ten minutes, when
it will be ready for use.
_Warm Slaw._
Wash the cabbage, cut fine and put on the fire with enough water to
keep it from burning.
When sufficiently tender, have ready a dressing made of vinegar,
pepper, salt, mustard, a spoonful of butter rolled in flour, and
beaten eggs, all thoroughly mixed. Stir this quickly in the cabbage
and let it boil up.--_Mrs. Col. W._
FRIED CABBAGE.
Reserve some cabbage from dinner. Set it away till next morning. Chop
fine, season with pepper and salt, and fry brown with a slice of fat
bacon.
CAULIFLOWER.
Remove the outside leaves. Cut in four parts, tie them together, put
in boiling water and let them simmer till the stalk is thoroughly
tender, keeping it covered with water, and removing the scum. Boil two
hours, drain well and serve with melted butter. You may cook broccoli
by the same recipe, except that you cut it in two pieces instead of
four.--_Mrs. R._
SPINACH.
Pick and soak several hours in cold water. Drain and shake each
bunch. Throw in boiling water and boil till tender. Take up with a
perforated skimmer. Put in a saucepan with a heaping tablespoonful
butter; pepper and salt to taste. Stir in three hard-boiled eggs,
chopped up. Let it simmer, stirring frequently. Put in a deep dish and
cover with nicely poached eggs, buttered, peppered, and salted.
Sea-kale may be prepared by the same recipe.--_Mrs. S. T._
TURNIP SALAD.
Pick early in the morning. Wash one peck and put in cold water. Have
ready a pot of boiling water in which a piece of bacon has boiled
several hours, and the amount of water become much reduced. Take out
the bacon, put in the salad, put the bacon back on top of the salad,
and boil till very tender. Dip from the pot with a perforated skimmer,
lay in a deep dish, skim the fat from the liquor and pour over the
salad. Cover with nicely poached eggs. Cover and send to the table
hot. Any other kind of salad might be cooked by this recipe.--_Mrs. S.
T._
TURNIPS.
Boil and mash through a colander. Season with a cup cream, spoonful
butter, pepper, and salt, and stew quite dry. Then you may bake
them.--_Mrs. Col. W._
TO STEW TURNIPS.
Peel five or six turnips and put on to boil, adding a little salt to
the water. When thoroughly done, mash fine through a colander, season
with a teacup of cream, or milk, a tablespoonful butter, red and black
pepper, and a little more salt, if needed. Stew two or three minutes.
Cabbage prepared the same way is very nice.--_Mrs. C. M. A._
