Take nine pounds ripe peaches, rub them with a coarse towel, and halve
them. Put four pounds sugar and one pint good vinegar in the kettle
with cloves, cinnamon, and mace. When the syrup is formed, throw in
the peaches a few at a time; when clear, take them out and put in
more. Boil the syrup till quite rich; pour it over the peaches.
Cherries can be pickled in the same way.--_Mrs. C. C._
PEACHES TO PICKLE.
Make a syrup with one quart vinegar and three pounds sugar; peel the
peaches and put them in the vinegar, and let boil very little. Take
out the fruit, and let the vinegar boil half an hour, adding cinnamon,
cloves, and allspice.--_Mrs. A. H._
PICKLED PEACHES
Take peaches pretty ripe, but not mellow; wipe with flannel as smooth
as possible; stick a few cloves in each one. One pound sugar to one
pint vinegar. Allow three pounds sugar and three pints vinegar to one
pan peaches. Scald the vinegar, then put on the peaches; boil till
nearly soft, then take out and boil the vinegar a little longer, and
pour over the fruit.--_Mrs. G. P._
_Pickled Peaches._
Put the peaches in strong brine, and let them remain three or four
days; take them out, and wipe them dry; put them in a pot with
allspice, pepper, ginger, and horseradish; boil some turmeric in your
vinegar. Pour it on hot.--_Miss E. T._
PEACH, PEAR, QUINCE AND APPLE PICKLE.
1 pound fruit.
½ pound sugar
½ pint vinegar.
Dissolve sugar and vinegar together; put a small quantity of fruit;

SWEET PICKLE. (_Honolulu Melon._)
4 pints vinegar, very clear.
4 pints sugar.
1 ounce cloves.
1 ounce cinnamon.
Put all to boil, then drop in the melons, as much as the vinegar will
cover, and boil fifteen minutes. Put them in jars, and every day, for
two or three days, pour off the vinegar, boil it over, and pour on the
pickles until they seem done.--_Mrs. M. W. T._
CANTALOUPE PICKLE.
Cut up ripe melons into small square pieces, peel and scrape out the
soft pulp and seeds, soak one night in alum water, and then boil in
strong ginger tea. Then to each pound of fruit add three-quarters of a
pound loaf sugar, mace, cinnamon, and white ginger to the taste, and
cover with best cider vinegar. Boil till it can be pierced with a
straw, then set aside, and the next day pour off, and boil the syrup
until it thickens a little, and return to the fruit
boiling-hot.--_Mrs. F. F. F._
_Cantaloupe Pickle._
Pare and cut in small pieces, cover with vinegar; pour off and
measure, and to each pint put three-quarters of a pound brown sugar;
cloves and mace to your taste.
Boil the syrup, put in the fruit and boil until clear; then take out
the fruit, boil a few minutes longer, and pour it on the pickles, hot.
When cold, it is ready for use.--_Mrs. E. I._
