After having scraped and washed asparagus, boil soft in salt water, drain off water, add pepper, salt and strong cider vinegar,, and then cool. Before serving, arrange asparagus so that heads will all lie in center of dish; mix the vinegar in which it was put after removing from the fire with good olive oil or melted butter, and pour over the asparagus. -Mrs. Lewis Brown.
