Mixed Pickles

Mrs. F. M. Cragin.

Three hundred small cucumbers, four green peppers sliced fine, two large or three small heads cauliflower, fine, two large or three small heads cauliflower, three heads of white cabbage shaved fine, nine large onions sliced, one large root horse-radish, one quart of green beans cut one inch long, one quart green tomatoes sliced; put this mixture in a pretty strong brine twentyfour hours; drain three hours, then sprinkle in onefourth pound black and one-fourth pound of white mustard seed; also one tablespoon black ground pepper; let it come to a good boil in just vinegar enough to cover it , adding a little alum. Drain again, and when cold, mix in one-half pint of ground mustard; cover the whole with good cider vinegar; add turmeric enough to colour, if you like.
