r, white Pepper, and a little Salt, (according to discretion) straining the former Liquor from the_ Cucumbers; _and so place them in a Jarr, or wide mouthed Glass, laying a litle Dill and Fennel between each Rank; and covering all with the fresh scalding-hot Pickle, keep all close, and repeat it daily, till you find them sufficiently green_. _In the same sort_ Cucumbers _of the largest size, being peel'd and cut into thin Slices, are very delicate_. Another. _Wiping them clean, put them in a very strong Brine of Water and Salt, to soak two or three Hours or longer, if you see Cause: Then range them in the_ Jarr _or_ Barrellet _with Herbs and Spice as usual; and cover them with hot Liquor made of two parts Beer-Vinegar, and one of White-Wine Vinegar: Let all be very well closed. A Fortnight after scald the Pickle again, and repeat it, as above: Thus they will keep longer, and from being so soon sharp, eat crimp and well tasted, tho' not altogether so green. You may add a Walnut-Leaf, Hysop, Costmary_, &c. _and as some do, strow on them a little Powder of_ Roch-Allom, _which makes them firm and eatable within a Month or six Weeks after_.

Then put them into an Earthen Glazed_ Jarr, _or wide-mouth'd Glass, with as much White-Wine Vinegar as will cover them. Boil them in the Vinegar with Pepper, Cloves, Mace, &c. and when off the Fire, as much Salt as will make a gentle Brine; and so pour all boyling-hot on the_ Cucumbers, _covering them close till the next Day. Then put them with a little Dill, and Pickle into a large Skillet; and giving them a Boyl or two, return them into the Vessel again: And when all is cold, add a good Spoonful of the best_ Mustard, _keeping it from the Air, and so have you an excellent_ Mango. _When you have occasion to take any out, make use of a Spoon, and not your Fingers_.

Limon. _Take Slices of the thick Rind Limon, Boil and shift them in several Waters, till they are pretty tender: Then drain and wipe them dry with a clean Cloth; and make a Pickle with a little White-Wine Vinegar, one part to two of fair Water, and a little Sugar, carefully scum'd.
