Creamed Spinach With Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

• 1 peck fresh spinach
• ½ cup sweet cream
• 1 tsp sugar
• Lemon juice
• 2 boiled eggs, sliced

Method

1. 1 Pick over spinach, trim roots and tough stalks. Wash thoroughly in several waters to remove grit, then shake dry.
2. 2 Place spinach in a pot or double boiler. Cover closely and cook slowly, stirring frequently, until tender (20-30 minutes).
3. 3 Drain spinach in a colander. Press with the back of a plate to extract all excess water, then chop very fine.
4. 4 Add cream and sugar to the chopped spinach. Boil up once, stirring constantly, until hot. Serve with lemon juice and sliced boiled eggs.
