Spinach (Pick over the spinach wash)

Pick over the spinach, wash through many waters, then set to cook in about a cup of boiling water (to a peck). When tender, skim from the water and place in sterilized jars, packing it in solid; adjust the rubbers, strain the water in which the spinach was cooked through a napkin wrung out of boiling water, reheat to the boiling point, and use to fill the jars to overflow; put on the lids, let cook ten minutes after boiling begins, then tighten the lids.
