Cucumbers No 3 Recipe

Wipe the cucumbers clean with a coarse cloth, and put them into a jar.

Take some vinegar, into which put pepper, ginger, cloves, and a handful

of salt. Pour it boiling hot over the cucumbers, and smother them with a

flannel: let them stand a fortnight; then take off the pickle, and boil

it again. Pour it boiling on the cucumbers, and smother them as before.

The pickle should be boiled in a bell-metal skillet. With two thousand

cucumbers put into the pot about a pennyworth of Roman vitriol.
