Twelve tomatoes, skinned and cut up, cook thirty minutes (or a quart
of canned tomatoes, ten minutes will cook it). When cooked, stir in
quarter of a teaspoonful of soda; when done foaming put in two large
crackers, rolled fine; one quart of milk, salt and pepper to taste;
stir in a piece of butter nearly the size of an egg; let it all boil up
once, then serve for dinner.
