Ingredients

1 pound fiddleheads
1 ½ teaspoons butter
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Rinse fiddleheads thoroughly; trim stems. Soak in cold salted water for 5 minutes; rinse again.
Place fiddleheads in a large skillet; pour in enough water to cover and bring fiddleheads to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes; drain.
Melt butter in same skillet over medium low heat; stir in fiddleheads and toss to coat. Cook fiddleheads until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir vinegar into fiddleheads; season with salt and pepper.

Cook's Note:

I prefer balsamic or wine vinegar, but traditionally white vinegar is used.
