To Preserve Vegetables

Oven, in the book's wordsA cool oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a cool oven”. The 300°F (150°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Clean and cut cauliflowers into pieces.

  2. Boil them in salted water until they come to a boil.

  3. Drain the cauliflowers and place them in the sun to dry for two days.

  4. Put them in a cool oven at 300°F (150°C) until fully dry.

  5. Once cold, store them in paper bags until needed.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
