Radish Pods.
GATHER your radish-pods when they are quite
young, and put them into salt and water all night. The
next day boil the salt and water they were laid in, pour it
upon the pods, and cover your jar close to keep in the
steam. When it is nearly cold, make it boiling hot, and
pour it on again, and continue doing so till the pods are
quite green. Then put them into a sieve to drain, and
make a pickle for them of white wine vinegar, with a
little mace, ginger, long pepper, and horse-radish. Pour
it boiling hot upon your pods, and when it is almost cold,
make your vinegar twice as hot as before, and pour it
upon them. Tie them down with a bladder, and set
them in a dry place.
