Directions

1

Fifty cucumbers, 50 green tomatoes, 2 dozen white onions, cut them up in slices over night, sprinkle with salt; in the morning place them in a colander and drain them dry; 1 pint of vinegar, 1/2 pound of brown sugar, 1 teaspoonful of tamarack, 1 teaspoonful black pepper, 1 tablespoonful each of allspice and cloves, 1/2 dozen leaves of mace. Put all these in a pot and let them come to a boil; after boiling take them out and put them in a jar covered up tightly.

2

Take a mango, cut it, take all the seeds out, put in salt and water for 5 days, let them stay 1 day and night in clear water, drain them and stuff them with the following: Chop a hard head of cabbage, horseradish, mustard seed, garlic, a few cloves; and stuff each one, then tie on the piece taken off to make an opening to take the seeds out. Boil sufficient vinegar to cover them, putting cloves and allspice in the vinegar; pour this over them in the jars; continue boiling the vinegar, pouring it off and on the mangoes for three days; then fasten up for use.
