Pickled Beet-Roots

Slice and cut into squares as many cold cooked beet-roots as needed and place them in wide-mouthed pickle bottles; boil enough vinegar to cover them, a blade of mace, half an ounce of ginger root and a little scraped horseradish to each pint; pour in while hot and cork and tie down with wet bladder while cooling.
