Peas, Green, Preserved

Take the peas when they are fully grown, but not old. Shell them, throw them into boiling water, and let them boil for ten minutes, then drain well, spread them out on tins, and put them in a cool oven once or twice to harden. When done, put them into paper bags, tie up securely, and hang in a dry warm room until wanted. Before using them, soak them in water for a little while, and put an ounce of butter into the water in which they are boiled.
