Fried Parsnips

Peel and wash some parsnips, put them in boiling salted water, and boil till tender. Drain and cut the parsnips in thin slices lengthwise, and leave them till cool with a little salt sprinkled over them. Put a breakfast cupful of molasses in a large fryingpan, place it on the fire and let it boil; then put in the slices of parsnips and fry them; when browned on one side turn them and brown the other. Arrange them on a hot dish, and serve.
