Red Pepper Sweet Pickle.

Soak the peppers in boiling water about twet: / minutes, then lay in cold brine o.er night to draw out the crude juices of the vegetable. Cut in thin slices, discarding, all the seeds and stringy pulp, and make into a sweet pickle, precisely as pears, apples or peaches are pickled. A standard'formula for this is three pounds of sugar, a pint of cider vinegar, two tablespoons each of whole cloves, allspice and cinnamon. Scald all together and cook until the' pepper is tender. Remove the peppers and cook the syrup long enough to thicken slightly, then pour over the sliced pepper. This is an excellent relish with roasted meat.
