It is always best to use cider vinegar in making pickles as
other kinds eat the pickles or make them soft. Vinegar which is
too strong should be diluted with water. The vinegar should
never be boiled but should be poured on the pickles hot as it
comes to the first scald. If pickles are put into brine the
brine should be strong enough to float an egg. A heaping pint of
coarse salt should be used to each gallon of water. Never put
pickles into anything that has previously held any kind of
grease and never let them freeze. A good way is to put pickles
in bottles and seal while hot. Put a slice or two of horseradish
into the jar with pickles. It will soon sink to the bottom
taking the scum with it and leaving the vinegar clear.
1. Beet Pickles.-One quart of beets chopped fine, 1 quart of
cabbage, 1 cup sugar, 1 teacup grated horseradish, 1 teaspoonful
salt, 1 teaspoonful pepper. Mix all together and cover with cold
vinegar; can in air tight cans and keep in dark place.
2. Chopped Pickles.-Two large heads of cabbage, 1 peck of green
tomatoes, 3 green peppers, 1 small cup salt; chop, mix, let
stand over night and drain. Cover with cider vinegar. Boil until
soft; drain again and mix with 1 tablespoonful mustard, 1
tablespoonful cloves, 2 pounds of raisins, 2 pounds of sugar,
1/2 cup grated horseradish, 3 chopped onions, celery and salt to
taste. Hot vinegar enough to make moist. Can rather dry.
3. Chow Chow.-Two heads of cabbage, l/2 peck green tomatoes, 1
large ripe cucumber, 2 large onions, 9 large, red sweet peppers,
10 cents worth of white mustard seed, 10 cents worth of black

grated horseradish. Mix cabbage, tomatoes and salt; let stand 4
hours in colander to drain; drain onions and cucumbers; scald 1
1/2 gallons of vinegar and 3 pounds brown sugar and pour over
the mixture; heat thoroughly. This makes 10 quarts.
4. Sliced Cucumbers.-Peel and slice a gallon of cucumbers and
soak over night in weak salt water. Drain and put them in weak
vinegar on the stove and let them get hot; drain and pack them
in glass jars. Take one quart of vinegar, a few slices of
onions, sugar and spices to taste; let it come to a boil. Then,
while hot, pour this over the cucumbers and seal.

leaves, fresh cucumbers, dill and salt. Cover with water and an
inverted plate; place a brick on the plate to hold all under
