Cabbage
To Boil Cabbage
Wash in cold water, and pick over very carefully. Put whole in a covered boiler, with the stem end down, sprinkle well with salt, pour over it a cupful of cold water, boil until it is very tender, then uncover it for the water to boil away; set it on the back of range to dry, take off the coarse outer leaves, serve it in a hot, deep, dish. Cut the cabbage into halves or quarters and lay butter on each piece.
