PICKLED OYSTERS
V. C. G.
Boil the oysters till the edges curl and the soft part is plump. Take off and
let them cool in the juice. Remove the oysters and strain the juice, adding to
it vinegar to the taste, whole black pepper, allspice, small piece of mace, and
boil about 5 minutes.
Remove from stove, and when perfectly cold pour on the oysters.
Add wine to the taste, small red peppers, and salt.
