Canned Peas

Ingredients

Directions

Prepare

  1. Open a can of peas an hour before cooking them so there may be no musty, airless taste about them, and turn into a bowl.

Cook and serve

  1. When ready, put the peas in a furnace kettle, or one saucepan within another, of hot water.

  2. If dry, add cold water to cover them, and stew about twenty-five minutes.

  3. Drain, stir in a generous lump of butter, pepper, and salt.
