Directions
Mrs. Rorer.
Put good unbroken cucumbers in a cask or jar in alternate layers with coarse salt i inch thick; cover with cabbage or horse- radish leaves, then with a board and a weight, and pour 1 quart water over. Fresh layers of cucumbers and salt may be added, picking the fruit in the morning or evening. When nearly full, tuck a cloth tight over the top, cover with the board and weight, and they will keep in the brine 1 or 2 years. Take out as they are wanted to use, skimming the brine and washing cloth and board before replacing. To use the pickles, soak 3 days in, fresh water, changing it daily, put in a kettle with a lump of alum, cover with good vinegar, and bring to the boil; throw away this vinegar and finish pickling according to any recipe liked.
Beans of any kind, corn or sliced green tomatoes may be salted down in this wav.

Mrs. Richard Crowe.
Take 1 peck green tomatoes, and 4 green peppers ; slice them and put in a dish in layers. Sprinkle over them 1 cup salt, and let remain over night. In the morning press dry through a sieve. Put in a porcelain kettle, cover with vinegar, add 1 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon each kind of spice in a muslin bag; stew slowly about 1 hour, or until done.
if onions are liked, add eight sliced.
