Twenty-five young, tiny cucumbers, fifteen onions sliced, two quarts of string beans, cut in halves, four quarts of green tomatoes, sliced and chopped coarsely, two large heads of white cabbage. Prepare these articles and put them in a stone jar in layers with a slight sprinkling of salt between them. Let them stand twelve hours, then drain off the brine. Now put the vegetables in a kettle over the fire, sprinkling through them four red peppers, chopped coarsely, four tablespoonfuls of mustard seed, two tablespoonfuls each of celery seed, whole allspice, and whole cloves and a cupful of sugar. Pour on enough of the best cider vinegar to cover; cover tightly and simmer well until thoroughly cooked. Put in glass jars when hot.
