Wash the blueberries and place them in a saucepan with the water, maple syrup, cinnamon and cardamom. Cook slowly for 15 minutes; remove from heat and let cool. Stir in the sour cream, and chill well before serving.

1 In The Artist's & Writers Cook Book, 1961

TAKE parsley, sage, garlic, onions, leek, borage, cresses, rue, rosemary and purslain. Lave them and wash them clean. Pluck them small with thy hand and mix them well with raw oil. Lay on vinegar and salt and serve it forth.

SAMUEL PEGGE, The Forme of Cury, 1390

Among al herbest, non hath so good juyce as lettyse. It doth sette a hotte stomake in a very good temper, maketh good appetite, and eaten in the evenynge provoketh slepe. It provoketh mylke in a womans breastes, but it abateth carnall appetite.

SIR THOMAS ELYOT,

The Castel of Helthe, 1534

First then to speak of Sallets, there be some simple and some compounded; some only to furnish out the table, and some both for use and adornation.

GERVASE MARKHAM,

The English Hus-wife, 1615

It is now August: the Melowne and the Cucumber is now in request: and Oyle and vinegar give attendance on the Sallet hearbes.

NICHOLAS BRETON,

The Bake of Moneths, 1626

Of great use in the Kitchin, and very pleasing and wholesome at the Table, is the Lettuce, an excellent Supper Sallad, cooling and refreshing.

JOHN WOOLRIDGE,

The Art of Gardening, 1688

Oh, green and glorious! Oh, Herbaceous treat! Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat: Back to the world he'd turn his fleeting soul, And plunge his fingers in the salad-bowl!

REV. SYDNEY SMITH,

The Lady's Annual Register, 1839

What is more refreshing than salads when your appetite seems to have deserted you, or even after a capacious dinner—the nice, fresh, green and crisp salad, full of life and health, which seems to invigorate the palate and dispose the masticating powers to a much longer duration.

ALEXIS SOYER,

A Shilling Cookery for the People, 1854

The cooling sanity of lettuce and every other herbal green, whose touch is calm, whose heart is clean.

LOUIS UNTERMEYER,

Food and Drink, 1952
