For the Pods of it
are very sweet and have no Film, or Skin in them, so that the Cods may be
as well eaten as the Peas themselves; for which reason, when we have drawn
the Strings from them, as we do from Kidney Beans, you may broil them upon
a Gridiron, and serving them with gravey Sauce, they are very good; or to
cut them into Pieces, and fry them with Mutton Steaks; or else you may fry
them with Beef, and they are still better. But the best way, is to cut them
cross, as you do _French_-Beans, and stew them in Gravey with a little
Pepper and Salt, there is not any thing in my Opinion can eat better, and
to be put in a gravey Soop, are incomparable; especially, if they have been
parboil'd, and rubb'd dry, and then fry'd in burnt Butter.
The smallest dwarf crooked Sugar-Pea, that you recommend, is of the same
quality, but rather better, for all these Uses, being somewhat sweeter than
the former, and the Pod fuller of Pulp.
C. B.
To make _Verjuice_ of Grapes, unripe, or of Crab-Apples; from _J. S._ Esq.
Take Grapes full grown, just before they begin to ripen, and bruise them,
without the trouble of picking them from the Bunches; then put them in a
Bag, made of Horse-Hair, and press them till the Juice is discharged; put
this Liquor into a Stone Jar, leaving it uncover'd for some Days, then
close it and keep it for use.
