Black peppers can be used instead of the green, one tablespoonful
ground.--_Mrs. E. C. G._
OIL MANGOES.
1 pound race ginger, well soaked, beaten and dried.
1 pound horseradish.
1 pound white mustard-seed.
1 pound black mustard-seed.
2 ounces ground mustard.
2 ounces black pepper.
2 ounces turmeric.
2 ounces cloves.
½ ounce mace.
1 ounce celery-seed.
2 pounds sugar.
Beat the ingredients together in a mortar, and mix the mustard with as
much olive oil as will make a paste. Then after the mangoes have been
in brine two weeks, and greened as you would cucumbers, stuff them; if
any filling is left, sprinkle between the layers in the jar. Pour over
as much boiling vinegar as will cover them.--_Mrs. T. C._
TO MAKE OIL MANGOES.
Put the mangoes in strong brine for five days. Wash them, and remove
the seed.
Stuffing for the same.
1½ pound white mustard-seed.
¼ pound pounded ginger.
½ pound black pepper, pounded.
4 tablespoonfuls celery-seed.
3 ounces mace.
Mix these ingredients with as little oil as possible, stuff the
mangoes with it, adding scraped horseradish and one blade of garlic.
Pour cold vinegar over them, and one pound salt. Press the mangoes
under the vinegar, and watch them closely. It is well to scald the
vinegar in the spring.--_Mrs. H. T._
TO GREEN MANGOES.
After taking them from the brine, lay them in a kettle with grape-vine
leaves between each layer of mangoes; a little alum sprinkled on each
layer. Let them simmer all day, changing the leaves if necessary. If
not green enough, put them on the second day.--_Mrs. E._
MANGOES.
To a three-gallon jar of mangoes prepared for the vinegar, take:
1 teacup black pepper.
1 ounce allspice.
½ ounce ginger.
½ ounce mace.
½ ounce cloves, beat well, but not fine.
Take one head of raw cabbage.
8 onions.
2 teacups of horseradish.
1 quart of mustard-seed.
Take half the beaten spices, and mix with the latter ingredients, also
three cups of brown sugar; besides, put one teaspoonful brown sugar in
each mango before you put in the stuffing.
It takes five pounds of sugar for a three-gallon jar. The balance of
the sugar mix with the spice and vinegar enough to cover the
pickle.--_Mrs. H. C._
STUFFING FOR SIXTY MANGOES.
1 pound black mustard-seed.
1 pound white mustard-seed.
2 pounds chopped onion.
1 ounce mace.
1 ounce nutmeg.
2 handfuls black pepper.
1 ounce turmeric, well mixed with cold water.
Pound the mace, nutmeg, and pepper.
1 cup sweet oil.
½ pound English mustard.
4 pounds brown sugar.
Mix all these well together, throwing in little bits of mango or
cucumbers.
