Yeast Recipe

4 good sized potatoes

1 quart of boiling water

2 tablespoonfuls of sugar

1 tablespoonful of salt



Pare and grate the potatoes into the hot water, stir over the fire

until it reaches boiling point, and simmer gently for five minutes. Take

from the fire, add the sugar and salt, and when lukewarm add a cupful of

yeast, or two dry yeast cakes that have been moistened in a little

water, or one cake of compressed yeast. Turn the mixture into a jar and

cover with a saucer. Stir it down as fast as it comes to the top of the

jar. When it falls, or ceases to be very light, which will be five or

six hours, pour it into a bottle, put the cork in very loosely and stand

it in a cold place. Use one cupful of this to each two loaves of bread.
