Jerusalem Artichokes

This artichoke is a species of sunflower, being a tuber, like a potato. Wash well in cold water, throw them into clean (1) cold water and soak two hours. Scrape off the skin, holding the artichoke as much under water as possible to prevent it from getting dark, throwing each one as soon as finished into a bowl of clean cold water. Drain and cover with boiling water, add a teaspoonful of salt, and boil until tender, about fifteen minutes. Watch closely or they will harden again. Drain and serve with Cream Sauce.
