Boiled Rice Recipe

Another good dish of rice for supper can be made as

follows. Wash half a pound of rice (cost five cents,) throw it into one

quart of boiling water, containing two teaspoonfuls of salt, and boil it

fast ten minutes; drain it in a colander, saving the water to use with

broth next day; meantime just grease the pot with sweet drippings, put

the rice back in it, cover it, and set it on a brick on the top of the

stove, or in a cool oven, and let it stand ten minutes to swell; be

careful not to burn it. The addition of a very little butter, sugar,

molasses, nutmeg, lemon juice, or salt and pepper, will give it

different flavors; so that you can vary the taste, and have it often

without getting tired of it, and it need never cost you over seven

cents.
