Peach, Pear, Quince and Apple Pickle

1 pound fruit. 1/2 pound sugar. 1/2 pint vinegar.

Dissolve sugar and vinegar together; put a small quantity of fruit; boil until you can stick a straw through it. Season with cinnamon and mace. Rescald the vinegar, and pour over the fruit for nine mornings.--Mrs. Dr. J. SWEET PICKLE. (Honolulu Melon.) 4 pints vinegar, very clear. 4 pints sugar. 1 ounce cloves. 1 ounce cinnamon. Put all to boil, then drop in the melons, as much as the vinegar will cover, and boil fifteen minutes. Put them in jars, and every day, for two or three days, pour off the vinegar, boil it over, and pour on the pickles until they seem done.--Mrs. M. W. T.
