      Title: Stewed Celery
 Categories: 
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
 
  Break apart and wash very carefully three heads of
  good celery; cut off the green portions and leave
  the outside stalks to season soups; cut the celery
  into pieces an inch long and add just enough
  boiling water to cover them; add salt to the water
  before putting celery in; boil slowly. When
  tender, drain and place neatly on a vegetable
  dish, sprinkle over it some black pepper; pour off
  part of the water, but save it in case of need,
  till the stew is completed. Wet into a smooth
  paste a teaspoonful of corn starch, and add the
  same quantity of flour, two tablespoonfuls of
  butter, and the same of rich cream; stir this into
  the water over the fire till it thickens, and then
  pour over the celery. If too thick add some of the
  water left over.
