To pickle Ox-Palates.
TAKE your palates and wash them well with salt and water, and
put them in a pipkin with water and some salt; and when they
are ready to boil, skim them well, and put to them pepper, cloves,
and mace, as much as will give them a quick taste. When they
are boiled tender (which will require four or five hours) take
them and cut them into small pieces, and let them cool; then
make the pickle of white wine and vinegar, an equal quantity;
boil the pickle, and put in the spices that were boiled in the
palates. When both the pickle and the palates are cold, lay
your palates in a jar, and put to them a few bay-leaves, and a
little fresh spice; pour the pickle over them, cover them close,
and keep them for use.
