Pickled Apples, Peaches and Pears.

A good mixed pickle is made by combining the three different kinds of fruit. Rub the down off the peaches with a coarse cloth, the pears if the skin be tough, otherwise simply remove the blossom end and peel t£e apples, leaving the stems on. Stick a couple of cloves in efcch piece of fruit. For six pounds of fruit allow three of sugar, a pint of strong vinegar, four dozen cloves and two dozen cassia buds. Cook the syrup 15 minutes, skim well and put in the fruit. Cook until tender, then pack in glass or stone jars and seal.
