TESTED RECIPES PICKLES Recipes for. pickles are numerous and most of them make excellent pro- I ducts. There are many chopped rel- ishes and sauces which are compar- atively easy to prepare but pickles where the vegetables are left whole or large pieces require more care and patience. To make good crisp pickles the pro- portions are important but there are other redtails worth watching. The best way to be sure of good pickles is to find out what has caused failures —your own and your neighbours'— and learn how to avoid them. Pickles may be hollow, wrinkled, too soft, too hard, or too tough, They may be of poor colour, either cloudy or dull instead of bright, clear green or white. Any one of these faults may completely spoil the pickle. Hollowness in pickles is caused by allowing too long a time to elapse between picking and pickling.. Wrinkled pickles are common. In pickling the natural juice is drawn out and replaced by a pickle mixture. This 'change should be made gradually. Too' strong brine or too tweet syrup will'make wrinkled gherkins. A strong brine for two days will not• have the same result as a weaker brine for nine days. Strong vinegar, weak brine; or over- heating will cause pickles to be, soft or flabby. Pickles should be merely heated through—never really cooked. Ripe cucumbers, pearl onions, or cauliflower often lose 'colour on at- count of inferior vinegar, Good gii.de cider vinegar is of clear, pale aniber colour and excellent flavour. A white fceitrIlv. *gar is now obtainable if pre- Water containing too much mineral, particularly iron, will darken pickles. If % cup vinegar is added to 1 gal- lon of brine made with very hard wat- er, the difficutlY will be overcome, One-half cup medium coarse salt to 1 quart water is the standard briee, Boiling water is used to dissolve the salt but brine must be always cooled before ,adding vegetables, White sediment sometimes forms in pickled beets horn the combination of lard water., vinegar, and salt, If very . hard water, is boiled thoroughly and allowed to cool before using for pickle mixture there should be no sediment. Care—even to fussiness—is neces- sary in making crisp, tender, clear, pickles, 'but the, result is worth the effort. In making:certain sauces and relish- es none of these difficulties arise but to have perfect results any recipe should be followed exattly, The following' reelpes are suggested by the ColiStuner Section, Uarketittg Service, Dororitiou Dept-fillet-it 'Of Agriculture„ Horseradish Pickles 4 cups shredded cabbage 2 cups chopped celery' cup chopped onion 2 cups chopped 'cucumber 2 cups cider vinegar 2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons grated horseradish 2 teaspoons mixed pickle spice.
