Pour boiling salt water over the peaches--let them stand two days;
take them out and slit them on one side, and put them in turmeric
vinegar for two days. Extract the seed, stuff and sew them up, and put
in the prepared vinegar. Prepare the stuffing as follows: chop some of
the peaches from the turmeric vinegar, add a large quantity of
mustard-seed, celery-seed, a good deal of brown sugar--one pound to
two and a half pounds peaches; ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves,
pepper, turmeric, and any other spices, if you like. Onions chopped
fine. Vinegar to be seasoned the same way; and any of the stuffing
left may be put in the vinegar.--_Mrs. C. C._

_Peach Mangoes._
Pour boiling salt water over the peaches, let them stand two days;
then take them out, slit them on the side, and put them in turmeric
vinegar for two days or longer. Take them out, extract the seed, stuff
them, sew them up, and put into the prepared vinegar. To prepare the
stuffing:
Chop up some of the peaches, add a large quantity of white
mustard-seed, a good deal of brown sugar, some ground ginger,
cinnamon, cloves, pepper, turmeric, celery-seed, also a great deal of
chopped onion. Vinegar, seasoned with same ingredients. Quantity of
spices can be regulated by your taste.--_Miss S._
_Peach Mangoes._
Take large plum peaches, sufficient quantity to fill the jar. Peel
nicely, and take out the stones. Have ready the stuffing in proportion
to the peaches. Mince fine some soft peaches, preserved orange peel,
preserved ginger, coriander-seed, celery-seed, a small quantity mace,
cinnamon, candied strawberries, if you have them, and pickled
cherries. Sew the peaches up, after stuffing them, and fill the jar.
Then to every pound coffee sugar add one-half pint vinegar, allowing
the above quantity to two pounds fruit. Make a syrup of the sugar and
vinegar, and pour on the peaches, boiling-hot. Repeat this for three
mornings; the fourth morning put them all on together, and boil a
short time; add a few spices, cinnamon, and ginger to the syrup when
you make it. They will be ready for use in a few weeks.--_Mrs. R._

With a sharp knife take the cap out of the pod, then scrape out the

Take hard cabbage, chop them very fine, and to every quart of cabbage,
add
1 tablespoonful salt.
1 tablespoonful pulverized black pepper.
2 tablespoonfuls white mustard-seed.
1 teaspoonful ground mustard.
Mix all this well together, drain the peppers, and stuff them with the
mixture, and replace the cap.
