Recipe Introduction


Genie's notes-
My Great-Great-Grandmother's handwritten recipe for cooking fresh spinach. It is dated April 5, 1811 and I am posting it just as she wrote it.

List of Ingredients








Pick it very clean and wash it in five or six waters. Put it in a pan that will just hold it. Throw in a little salt over it and cover the pan close. Don't add any water in, but shake the pan often. You must put your pan on a clean fire. As soon as you find the spinach has shrunk and fallen to the bottom - and that the liquor boils up, it is enough. Throw it into a seive to drain and just give it a squeeze. Lay it in your dish and never put any Butter over it. Poach eggs and lay over it and send melted Butter in a Butter Boat.
