To Pickle Peppers

Ingredients

• Large bell peppers
• Salt
• Water
• Vinegar
• Turmeric

Instructions

1. Gather the large bell pepper when quite young.
2. Leave the seeds in and the stem on, and cut a slit in one side between the large veins, to let the water in.
3. Pour boiling salt and water on, changing it every day for three weeks; you must keep them closely stopped.
4. If at the end of this time they be a good green, put them in pots and cover them with cold vinegar and a little turmeric.
5. Those that are not sufficiently green must be continued under the same process till they are so.
6. Be careful not to cut through the large veins, as the heat will instantly diffuse itself through the pod.
