Heart to Hearth Cookery

After picking two handfuls of garden sorrel for the receipt (recipe), Sorrel Sauce, the next step is to boil it for four minutes in water, strain it off, and press the water from it.  This receipt is from a receipt book dated 1772 and it is the first instance I have seen of a direction including minutes in an 18th century receipt book.  It is indeed a rare four minutes.
