Heart to Hearth Cookery

After the asparagus has been cut in small pieces for the receipt (recipe) An Amulet of Asparagus blanch your asparagus.  In order to remove all the small pieces of asparagus easily from the kettle of boiling water,  the pieces were put into a pudding bag (a square of linen) and tied to the trammel so the bag would not touch the bottom of the kettle.  After a few minutes, the asparagus is blanched and the pudding bag is removed and all the pieces of asparagus placed at once in a colander.
