How to Make Cabbage Digestible, C.d. Langhorne

C. D. was the father of the famous Langhorne sisters, including Nancy, Lady Astor. He contributed this to a cookbook called "Key to the Pantry" which was published in Danvllle, VA in 1898. Taken from "Virginia Cookery Past and Present" Cooking time is a guess on my part.
