Tomatoes Recipe

If very ripe will skin easily; if not, pour scalding water on them, and

let them remain in it four or five minutes. Peel and put them in a stew

pan, with a table spoonful of water, if not very juicy; if so, no water

will be required. Put in a little salt, and stew them for half an hour;

then turn them into a deep dish with buttered toast. Another way of

cooking them, which is considered very nice by epicures, is to put them

in a deep dish, with fine bread crumbs, crackers pounded fine, a layer

of each alternately; put small bits of butter, a little salt, and pepper

on each layer--some cooks add a little nutmeg and sugar. Have a layer of

bread crumbs on the top. Bake it three quarters of an hour.
