| 20 oz fresh or frozen spinach |
If the spinach is fresh, pick off the larger stems and wash out the sand and dirt.
In a pot sufficiently huge to hold all that spinach, bring 2 c water to a rapid boil. Add
spinach. Simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes. Drain; blend or chop.
|
| That was the long part. Indeed, if you're using frozen spinach this is
really quick. Just thaw it by setting the box in hot water for a few minutes. |

Little known facts
Caramel and Butterscotch are made in
similar ways to toffee, as is fudge. The difference is in the degree of boiling
temperature and the ways in which they are cooled. This whole process uses high-heat to
convert sugar. Crystallization, graininess, and whether it is brittle or smooth are simply
variations of this process.
