Pickled Gherkins Recipe
From LoveToKnow Recipes

[edit]
Instructions
- Put the gherkins into a large stone jar, and cover them with brine strong enough to carry an egg.
- Place the cover on the jar, and leave it for two or three days, until the gherkins begin to turn yellow; then drain them, and pour boiling vinegar over them.
- Put bay leaves on the top, keep the jar in a warm place, and heat the vinegar afresh every day, till the gherkins turn as green as you wish.
- Boil fresh vinegar, and with it 1 large blade of mace, 2 ounces of whole pepper, 4 bay leaves, and half a dozen small silver onions to each quart.
- Put the gherkins into wide-mouthed bottles, pour the vinegar over them, first allowing it to cool a little, or it will crack the bottles, and cork securely when cold.
- Time, from a week to a fortnight.
