eds, and when it is cold, put to it
some salt, and as much of Vinegar as will make it a strong Pickle, then
take them out of the Water and Salt, and pour this Liquor over them, so
let them stand close covered for a fortnight or three weeks.
Then pour the Pickle from them and boil it, and when it is cold add to
it some more Vinegar, and put it to them again, so let them stand one
Month longer, and now and then when you see occasion, boil it again, and
when it is cold, put it to them, and every time you boil it, put some
Vinegar thereto, and lay the seeds and pieces of Cucumbers on the top,
and after the first fortnight when you boil it, put in some whole
Pepper and some whole Cloves and Mace, and always put the Liquor cold
over them.
