Original Text
Anchovy Pickle. Take two pounds of bay salt, three quarters of a pound of saltpetre, three pints of spring water, and a very little bole armeniac, to grate on the liquor to give it a colour; it must not be put to the anchovies until it is cold. If anchovies are quite dry, put them into a jar, with a layer of bay salt at the bottom, and a little on the top.
