SWEET PICKLED PEACHES.
From MRS. NELLIE B. PLUMER, of Pennsylvania, Alternate Lady Manager.
Ten pounds peaches--pared; five pounds sugar; one quart best cider
vinegar; one tablespoonful allspice; one tablespoonful mace; one
tablespoonful cinnamon; one teaspoonful cloves. Put the spices in thin
muslin bags. Boil all together half hour; then put in the peaches, and
boil twenty minutes. Take out the fruit with a skimmer, and spread
upon dishes to cool. Boil the syrup until thick, pack the peaches in
glass jars, and pour syrup over them scalding hot.
CHOW-CHOW PICKLES.
From MRS. H.K. INGRAM, of Florida, Alternate Lady Manager.
One-half peck green tomatoes; one dozen peppers; two heads cabbage
(medium size); one-half peck onions; one-fourth peck cucumbers. Chop
fine (or, better still, run through a sausage grinder), and mix
thoroughly with three handfuls of salt. Pour all into a thin bag to
drain for twelve hours, or over night. At the end of this time put
sufficient vinegar to cover into a large iron, tin or porcelain
vessel, and add two ounces black pepper grains, two ounces allspice
grains, two ounces celery seed, one-fourth pound mustard, one pound
sugar.
