        "In a large saucepan combine the peas with 1/4 cup water and the mint leaves and boil the mixture, covered, for 4 minutes, or until the peas are tender. Drain the mixture well and in a food processor pur\u00e9e it with the half-and-half, the butter, and salt and pepper to taste. The pur\u00e9e may be made 1 day in advance, kept covered and chilled, and reheated. Transfer the pur\u00e9e to a serving dish and garnish it with the mint sprigs."
