Homemade Pickles.
is very easily done, m

DICKLING is very easily done, making
little demands on time or effort, and
the homemade products are safe and
wholesome if properly prepared from good
vegetables and pure vinegar, and they
are quite inexpensive. The chief points
to keep in mind are these: Choose vege-
tables that are whole and sound and not
overripe. and clean them by rubbing with
a damp CLOTH then with dry one, rather
than by washing, unless they are to be
boiled and dried.
The presence of water, or even the use
of wet spoon, may spoil the pickle aft
erward, preventing it from keeping. Do
not use any vessel or utensil made of
metal either when making Or storing. as
the vinegar and brine may corrode these
and form poisonous deposit on them,
which will pass into the pickle. Boil the
vinegar in an enameled saucepan, or in
a stoneware jar, setting it either in a
large saucepan of boiling water or on the
stove. Store the pickles in glass vessels
or stoneware jars. Cover closely with
parchment. and If designed for keeping
take care to put from the first in a cool,
dry. dark place.
To make chopped pickle. chop one peck
Of green tomatoes, one-half peck onions,
two heads of cabbage, three sweet green
peppers one red sweet pepper. Sprinkle
with two cups Of salt and allow to stand
over night. In the morning drain thor
oughly and put the ingredients into the
kettle with one quart Of vinegar. Let 1t
cook. stirring occasionally so that every
part may become heated When 1t is
heated drain 1t again. Put two quarts
Of vinegar, one pound of sugar. two
ounces of white mustard seed, two tea
spoons each of ground allspice and GIN
namon into a saucepan and boil. When
it reaches the boiling point, add to 1t the
strained mixture. Let it stand a few
minutes, put in Jars and seal while hot.
To make green cucumber pickles: For
half bushel dissolve a pint OF salt in
water enough to cover them, pour 1t
boiling hot over them, let stand twenty
four hours. pour the brine off, heat and
repeat as above for two successive morn
ings The fourth morning drain off the
brine and pour over boiling water. Put
with them a lump of alum as large as a
walnut and cover with grape leaves. Let
them stand for twenty-four hours. and If
not plump pour on boiling water again.
When they are plump pack them in jars.
putting with them pieces Of horseradish
root, little red peppers and small bags
containing whole allspice, cloves, cinna-
mon and mustard. Heat the vinegar
enough to cover and pour over boiling
hot; then cover tightly.
