PICKLED WALNUTS
After scraping walnuts, let them stand in salt water for 2 or 3 weeks.
Scald twice quickly, so as not to soften them, and rub dry and put in jars.
Pour boiling vinegar over them and let them stand 2 weeks longer.
Then boil in very strong vinegar to every hundred walnuts 3 ounces each of mace, allspice, cloves, pepper, ginger, garlic, horseradish, and pour over walnuts and seal tightly.
