To Pickle Oysters Recipe

Take the oysters from the liquor, strain and boil it. Rinse the oysters,

if there are any bits of the shells attached to them. Put them into the

liquor while boiling. Boil them one minute, then take them out of it,

and to the liquor put a few peppercorns, cloves, and a blade or two of

mace--add a little salt, and the same quantity of vinegar as oyster

juice. Let the whole boil fifteen minutes, then turn it on to the

oysters. If you wish to keep the oysters for a number of weeks, bottle

and cork them tight as soon as cold.
