Cucumber Catsup.
Cucumbers are said to make a nice relish for meat, in winter, treated as follows: Grate about 3 dozen medium sized green cucumbers and sprinkle pepper and salt to your taste (pretty strong I should say) over them; and allow a small sized white onion for each bottle. Heat enough cider vinegar to cover and pour over. Put up in large mouth bottles, and pour melted wax over the corks. If the air is kept from them, when you open a bottle in mid-winter, the odor will be delightful to the lover of the sometimes dangerous cucumber.
Remarks. —It seems to the author that if they were scalded in the vinegar, there would be a greater certainty of keeping nicely, although the cucumber flavor might be not quite so natural.
