The ladies of 1870s Chicago pooled their recipes and signed every one — corned beef from Mrs. Beaty, lemon pie from Mrs. Saulter.

Pickles

Mrs. H. Baird.

Slice one peck green tomatoes, and one quart small white onions, each in a separate dish, with a small teacup of salt on them; to stand over night. Drain well, then take two quarts vinegar, one pound brown sugar, a few pepper pods, capsicums, some mace and ginger root, and put all together and simmer until tender. A very nice pickle.
