Recipe - Egg Plant Stew

1 lg Eggplant; peeled and chop to
medium size chunks
4 cup Milk (up to 5)
One half Stick of butter
Salt and black pepper to
taste
Finely chopped fresh hot
peppers

My Mom used to make the best "Egg Plant Stew" There are no exact
ingredients but it goes something like this:

Peel one large eggplant and chop to medium size chunks. Boil the chunks
with seasoned water until very soft....drain. Put about 45 cups of milk on
a medium low heat. Add half a stick of butter, salt and black pepper to
taste. Add the eggplant. Add finely chopped fresh hot peppers from the
garden (she always had cayenne). Don't let the milk boil, simmer until all
ingredients have had a chance to blend.

Add more black pepper when served. Eat with "soda crackers"
