Boiled Cabbages

Remove the outside leaves of the cabbages and place in salted water to cleanse them, then put them into a saucepan of boiling water salted, and boil fast; do not use a lid for the saucepan. When done, strain well, cut into quarters, serving them at once. When boiling it is well to change the water every ten minutes, as this produces a better flavor.
