Open large oysters and wash them, put them in a saucepan to boil in clear water with a very little salt. When they are sufficiently boiled, take out the oysters and put them in cold water to whiten them, then add to the liquor they were boiled in a little more water and salt, some blades of mace, whole pepper, and orange peel. Then boil them a little. Lay your oysters with their spices in a gallipot. When the liquor is cold, pour over them, and tie them down close with white paper.
