Miss Hulling’s Creamed Spinach

Source of Recipe

Friends
Defrost two boxes (10-oz. size) of frozen leaf spinach. Place in strainer or cloth and press out as much juice as possible. Save the juice. Grind the spinach through a course grinder or food chopper.

SAUCE FOR SPINACH

1-1/2 T. bacon fat
1-1/2 T. chopped onion
2 T. flour
1/2 C. milk
1/2 C. spinach water
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1/16 tsp. white pepper

Saute onions in fat until clear but not brown. Add flour and blend. Add milk and spinach water, stirring rapidly until sauce thickens. Simmer slowly for 5 to 7 minutes. Add seasoning and strain. Add ground spinach and heat barely to serving temperature. (Overcooking at this point causes spinach to lose its bright green color). Serves 6 to 8.
