Pare a good quantity of the rindes of _Cucumbers_, and boyle
them in a quart of running water, and a pint of wine _Vineger_,
with a handfull of _salt_, till they be soft, then letting them stand
till the liquor be quite cold, pour out the liquor from the rinds,
into some little barrel, earthen pot, or other vessel, that may be
close stopped, and put as many of the youngest _Cucumbers_ you can
gather, therein, as the liquor will cover, and so keep them close
covered, that no winde come to them, to use all the year till they
have new; if your _Cucumbers_ be great, 'tis best to boyle them in
the liquor till they be soft.
