To pickle lemons. 
TAKE twelve lemons, fcrape them with a piece of broken 
glafs; then cut them crofs in two, four parts downright, but 
not quite through, but that they will hang together; then put 
in as much fait as they will hold, rub them well, and ftrew then* 
over with fait. Let them lie in an earthen difh for three days, 
and turn them every day; then flit an ounce of ginger very thin, 
and falted for three days, twelve cloves of garlick parboiled and 
falted three days, a fmall handful of muftard-feeds bruifed and 
fearched through a hair-fieve, and fome red India pepper $ take 
your lemons out of the fait, fqueeze them very gently, put them 
into ajar, with the fpice and ingredients, and cover them with 
the beft white wine vinegar. Stop them up very clofe, and in a 
month’s time they will be fit to eat 0

To make pickle for mujhrooms. 
T«AKE a gallon of the beft vinegar, put it into a cold fill! t 
to every gallon of vinegar put half a pound of bay-falt, a quar¬ 
ter of a pound of mace, a quarter of an ounce of cloves, a nut¬ 
meg cut into quarters, keep the top of the ftill covered with a 
wet doth. As the cloth dries, put on a wet one ; don’t let the 
fire be too large, left you burn the bottom of the ftill. Draw 
It as long as you tafte the acid, and no longer. When you fill 
your bottles, putin your mufhrooms, here and there put in a few 
blades of mace, and a flice of nutmeg ; then fill the bottle with 
pickle, and melt fome mutton fat, ftrain it, and pour over it. 
It will keep them better than oil. 
You rauft put your nutmeg over the fire in a little vinegar, 
and give it a boil. While it is hot you may flice it as you pleafe* 
When it is cold, it will not cut; for it will crack to pieces.
