ginger, three ounces garlic, four ounces salt, one quart of vinegar.
Boil all to a mush for several hours.--Mrs. Schollander.
GREEN APPLE CHUTNEY.--Pare and core six pounds of greening apples; boil
in one quart of vinegar; set off until cool. Boil two pounds of moist
brown sugar in one pint of vinegar; add two pounds of Sultana raisins,
washed, picked and dried and four ounces of garlic pounded with
vinegar; four ounces of green ginger; two ounces of red pepper and four
ounces of salt. Mix well together with more vinegar if too thick. Keep

ORIENTAL CHUTNEY.--Peel and core three pounds of tart apples. Mix with
a pound of stoned tamarinds, three quarters of a pound of seeded

grated ginger roots. Pound all together until reduced to a pulp. Add to
the mixture a pint of brown sugar and a tablespoon each of currant
jelly and thick tomato catsup. Blend well with a wooden spoon. Put in
small jars and seal. This chutney improves with age and is most
pungent.
EAST INDIA CHUTNEY.--Into three pints vinegar put a bag containing two
