Good Substitute for Sauces.
Green tomatoes, 1 pk.; 1 large cabbage, 1 dozen onions; chop them fine and put on 1/2 pt. of salt and let them stand over night; then drain off the brine, and scald in weak vinegar and drain off again; and now add 6 good-sized green peppers chopped fine, having removed the seeds before chopping; 1/2 to 1 pt. (as you like best) of grated horseradish; then season with ground spices to suit the taste, at least 1 table-spoonful of allspice and pepper, and half as much dry mustard; and also 1/2 table-spoonful of cloves. Now, in packing in a jar, if 6 to 8 or 10 quite small cucumbers (whole), which have stood in salt and water over night, are put upon each layer of an inch or two in thickness, they will be found a valuable addition, putting one in each sauce dish when served at table. Then all being closely packed, just cover with good vinegar, boiling hot, and cover closely, or put up in fruit jars, if plenty, and you will have a dish, as the saying is, " nice enough for a king, " the author says nice enough for a better man than a king— nice enough for "an American citizen. "
