PREPARING PICKLES.
Vegetables for pickle should be kept in cold and strong brine till
they turn yellow: then put vine-leaves in the bottom of the kettle,
then a layer of vegetables and a layer of leaves till full. Pour on
them, boiling salt and water and let them boil until a bright green.
Take them, while hot, and place in weak vinegar for a whole week. Then
add them to the spiced vinegar. Afterwards rub on them a little
turmeric. Prepare the spiced vinegar in May, and expose to the sun
every day for some time.--_Mrs. R._
YELLOW PICKLE.
2 gallons vinegar.
2 pounds sugar.
1 ounce turmeric.
3 ounces allspice.
1 ounce cloves.
1 ounce mace.
1 pint mustard-seed.
2 tablespoonfuls celery-seed.
Pound all together and stir into the hot cider vinegar for several
minutes. Prepare your vegetables by quartering the cabbage and
scalding them in brine; cover them and leave until cold; squeeze dry
and hang in the sun; when bleached, throw in plain vinegar, then into
the spiced vinegar.--_Mrs. P._
_Yellow Pickle._
2½ gallons vinegar.

½ pound turmeric.
2 ounces nutmeg.
2 ounces allspice.
2 ounces cloves.
2 ounces celery-seed.
Pound them all before putting in the vinegar, add one pound scraped
horseradish, half-dozen lemons sliced.
Scald two dozen onions, sprinkle them with salt, and let them stand a
day; drain off the water and wash well with the vinegar. Add them to
your spiced vinegar. Cut your cabbage and scald them in strong salt
water till you can run a straw through them; drain them for a day and
put into plain vinegar for two weeks; let them drain again a day or
two before putting into the prepared vinegar. Put two tablespoonfuls
turmeric in the plain vinegar to turn the cabbage yellow.--_Mrs. J. T.
A._
