Water-Cress, Stewed

Lay the cress in strong salt and water; pick and wash it well; and stew it in water for about ten minutes. Drain and chop it, then return it to the stewpan with a bit of butter, some pepper and salt. Stew till tender. Just before serving put in a little vinegar, and serve with fried sippets. This is excellent with boiled chicken.
