Add the juice and peel of a lemon ; when nearly done, a glass of dark wine. Excellent, PEAS {GREEN), TO BOIL. Shell your peas as soon as you have gathered them (if possible). For a large vegetable dish of peas take a quart of water, into which put a pinch of salt, and a small piece of vegetable charcoal. Boil for fifteen minutes, if young and fresh, in an of en saucepan. When tender drain through a colander, and put into a dish with a piece of butter, and if the peas have been gathered some time before being shelled they will have lost their sweetness, in which case add a teaspoonful of sugar. Shake well together in the dish, and keep the dish on the top of the saucepan for five minutes to melt the butter and sugar belore serving. PICKLE {CABBAGE). (An old Dutch Recipe.)
