EGG PLANT
One large egg plant; two cups of vinegar; one dessert-spoonful of mixed spices;
one cup of sugar.
Cut one large egg plant in slices (not too thin). Soak for two hours in cold
water with a handful of salt. Then drain this off, and pour over the egg plant a
little vinegar mixed with water, and let it lie in this for about half an hour.
Then drain thoroughly and pour over it two cupfuls of hot vinegar with
dessert-spoonful of mixed spices and one cup of sugar. Cover tight and put away
for at least twenty-four hours.
BOILED AND DEVILED CUCUMBERS
Peel the cucumbers, and place in salted boiling water. Boil slowly until the
