To Pickle Cucumbers to Keep All the Yeare
Pare a good quantity of the rindes of Cucumbers, and boyle them in a quart of running water, and a pint of wine Vineger, with a handfull of salt, till they be soft, then letting them stand till the liquor be quite cold, pour out the liquor from the rinds, into some little barrel, earthen pot, or other vessel, that may be close stopped, and put as many of the youngest Cucumbers you can gather, therein, as the liquor will cover, and so keep them close covered, that no winde come to them, to use all the year till they have new; if your Cucumbers be great, ’tis best to boyle them in the liquor till they be soft.
