Leesburg Chow-Chow

1/2 peck green tomatoes. 2 large heads cabbage. 15 large white onions. 25 cucumbers.

Cut these up, and pack in salt for a night. Drain off, and then soak in vinegar and water for two days. Drain again. Mix with this, then: 1 pint grated horseradish. 1/2 pint small white onions. 1/2 pound white mustard-seed. 1 ounce celery-seed. 1/2 teacup ground black pepper. 1/2 teacup turmeric. 1/2 teacup cinnamon.

Pour over one and a half gallons boiling hot vinegar. Boil this vinegar for three mornings; the third morning, mix with two boxes mustard, three pounds brown sugar, and half-pint sweet oil.--Mrs. J. B. D.
