When my sisters, brothers and I went away to college in the 80s my mother gave us each a cookbook with all the recipes for the food we ate growing up. She recently asked if I had the recipes electronically, since I didn't I decided to start posting them for family to share. I have posted the recipes as she wrote them. Best thing she ever gave me, I use the cookbook to this day!

Cauliflower with Garlic Butter

1 large head cauliflower
1/3 c butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 T red wine vinegar
1 t salt
1/8 t pepper
pinch cayenne pepper

Wash and separate the cauliflower into flowerets about 1 1/2 inches across. Cook until just tender in salted water about 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan and saute the garlic in it.  Cool slightly, and add vinegar and cayenne. Drain the cauliflower and put into warm serving dish or return to saucepan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour the butter over it. Six servings.
