To Cook Parsnips

Parsnips when large require at least one and a half hours to boil. When done, peel off the skin, split them in halves, and serve with butter and cream; or the parsnips may be mashed and mixed with an egg batter, and seasoned.

Parsnips are better when left in the ground all winter.
