For the pickle
Instructions (4)
  1. Open the number you intend to pickle: put them into a saucepan, with their own liquor, for ten minutes; simmer them very gently.
  2. Then put them into a jar, one by one, that none of the grit may stick to them, and cover them, when cold, with the pickle thus made.
  3. Boil the liquor with a bit of mace, lemon peel, and black peppers; and to every hundred, put two spoonfuls of the best undistilled vinegar.
  4. They should be kept in small jars, and tied close with bladder, for the air will spoil them.
