_How to keep Cucumbers._

Take a kettle big enough for your use, halfe full of water, make
it brackish with salt, boyle therein ten or twenty _Cucumbers_, cut
in halves, then take the raw _Cucumbers_, being somewhat little,
and put them into the vessell wherein you will keep them, and
when your liquor is cold straine so much of it into them, as may
keep the _Cucumbers_ alwayes covered.


_To keep boyled Cucumbers._

Take a kettle of water, put salt to it, boyle it well, then take
your raw _Cucumbers_, put them into it, and keep them with turning
up and downe very softly, till they be as it were per-boyled,
then take them out, and lay them aside till they be cold, then put
them up in the vessel you will keep them in, and when the liquor
is cold, straine it into them, till they be all covered.
