Directions
Mrs. Jacobt. Chop a medium sized onion very fine; also a medium sized green pepper. Place in a sauce pan with a piece of butter the size of an ^%%, and a little raw, lean ham, cut in small pieces. Let cook for 5 minutes, being careful the onions don't burn; then add the shrimps. Toss on stove a minute or so; then add i quart of stock (if there is no home-made stock handy, a can of Franco-American Consomme will answer.) Add 3 or 4 tablespoonfuls of canned okra, if the green okra is not to be had. Let boil for 15 minutes; then add i pint of oysters; and, while the gumbo is boiling add slowly, by sprinkling in, 2 table- spoonfuls of the Gumbo File; stir constantly until there are no lumps. Serve very hot. and with boiled rice, cooked Southern style—each kernel to itself. Excellent.
