Directions

1

To one gallon of water, cut up two double handsful of okra. Half an hour afterwards add one handful of lima beans, pieces of tender squashes, some fresh meat or a fowl boiled till well done. One hour before you take it up, put in five large toma- toes, or a pint of small ones, peeled and sliced, and when almost done put in a lump of butter rolled in flour. Season with salt and pepper. Do not let it be too thick. Put it on early and let it simmer only.
