Spiced Beets
Instead of storing beets in the cellar for winter use,
try this method of pickling them. They are very fine. To
1 gallon cooked and sliced beets, add 2 pints of
vinegar. If too sour weaken with water. Add 2&1/2 cups
brown sugar, 5 cents worth cinnamon bark and 2 cents
worth whole cloves. Place in a strong jar, tie shut and
keep in a cool cellar. These will keep for a year and
can be opened from time to time and used.
Pickled Green Beans
Select young and tender beans, string and cook until
tender. To each gallon of beans use 1/2 gallon of
vinegar and 1 cup dark brown sugar. Place vinegar on
stove, add sugar and a bag of spices, such as whole
cloves, bark cinnamon and allspice. Boil the vinegar
until it has a spice flavor to suit the taste. Pack the
beans in well sterilized glass cans while still hot.
Pour over the boiling spice vinegar and seal. These are
very fine. If vinegar is left it can be used for next
canning.
Mixed Mustard Pickles
1 quart small cucumbers, 1 quart large ones cut into
pieces, 1 quart small onions, 1/2 quart celery chopped,
1/2 quart carrots sliced or cut into fancy shapes, 1/2
dozen red and green mangoes cut into slices, 1/2 quart
shredded cabbage, 1/2 quart green tomatoes cut into
small pieces, 1 pound lima beans. Cook in weak salt
water until tender, the onions, carrots, beans, celery,
and green tomatoes. Put all together and mix well. Cover
with dressing made as follows: Heat 2 quarts vinegar.
With cold vinegar make a paste of 7 cups brown sugar, 1
ounce celery seed, 6 tablespoons dry mustard and 1 cup
flour. Stir this into the hot vinegar and heat until it
thickens. Pour over vegtables, heat through and can.
This same dressing may be used for whole cucumbers,
califlower or any mustard pickle.
Sauerkraut
Shred cabbage very fine and pack into sterilized jars,
shaking down but not packing tight. All 1 rounding
teaspoon of salt. Fill jars with boiling water and seal.
Have jars standing in hot water so as to prevent
breakage. Keep in warm place and the kraut will be ready
in about 2 weeks, and there will not be the unpleasant
odor of fermenting kraut in a stone jar.
Sweet Pickled Apples
Peel apples and cut into halves. For 1 peck of apples
take 2 quarts of vinegar, 4 pounds of brown sugar, 1/2
ounce of whole cloves, allspice and stick cinnamon in
cheese cloth bag. Heat vinegar, add sugar and spice bag,
boil and skim. Add the apples and boil slowly until
tender. Lift apples and boil down the syrup and then
return the apples. These may be canned or will keep in
unsealed jars.
