Let all these lie in salt and water a day and night. Then strain them all from the salt and water, put on the fire, and cover with vinegar and water ; let them come to a boil. Then have your seasoning ready to pour over the vegetables, after you drain them from the vinegar and and water. Make the seasoning as follows : one- quarter pound of English mustard, one ounce of turmeric, one-half gallon of vinegar, three-quarter pound of sugar, table- spoonful of celery seed, teacup of salad oil, teacup of flour. Mix mustard, turmeric, flour and sugar with the vinegar, into a smooth paste. Cook it very carefully until it begins to thicken. When boiling hot, pour over the vegetables. This pickle I have kept for several years.
