Instructions:
Pour some some parsley flakes into a paper cup. Add just enough resin to form a pasty mixture. Since you have a "filler" in the resin, double the necessary drops of catalyst ( usual formula is 10 drops of catalyst to 1 ounce of resin) and stir in thoroughly. Fill cooking pot with the spinach mixture from the paper cup. Allow contents to harden overnight.

Not only were the Shakers excellent cooks, they also preserved, smoked, canned, farmed, gardened, and where responsible for working out an exact system of weights and measures for recipes

Perhaps, as you create these miniature recipes, you will give some thought to the creed
by which the Shakers lived --- "Give your hands to work and your hearts to God".
It is their legacy.
