Roasting Ears Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Roasting Ears Recipe, first a good way to boil roasting ears is to put on a pot of boiling water and "break" it with a little soda, skim the water, and put in another vessel in order to get all the lime out of it. Add 1 teaspoonful of granulated sugar, several pinches of salt, and, when the water comes to a boil, put in the roasting ears, cover tightly, and boil furiously till thoroughly heated through-from fifteen to twenty minutes-and serve hot.
