Ingredients
- a small piece of alum
- a small clove of garlic into each one
Directions
Cut a round piece out of the top of small round musk melons and extract the seeds. Then tie the pieces on again with a thread and put in a strong brine for ten days. Drain and wipe, put them into a kettle with nice leaves under and over them, adding a small piece of alum and put over a slow fire to green, keeping them tightly covered. To fill, make a dressing of scraped horseradish, white mustard seed, mace, nutmeg pounded, green ginger cut small, pepper, turmeric and sweet oil. Fill the mangoes with this mixture, putting a small clove of garlic into each one of them, replacing the pieces at the opening and sewing them in with strong thread. Put into stone jars and pour boiling vinegar over them.
