Cucumber Catsup

Source of Recipe

from The Housekeeper's Encyclopedia by Mrs. E. F. Haskell, 1861


Recipe Introduction

This is almost like a fresh sliced cucumber when opened for use.

List of Ingredients

cucumbers, peeled
10% vinegar



Recipe

Grate large cucumbers before they begin to turn yellow.
Drain out the juice and put the pulp through a sieve to remove the large seeds.
Fill a bottle half full of the pulp.
Discard any juice.
Fill the other half of the bottle with vinegar.
Put in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
When you are ready to use, add salt and pepper.
(Salt will kill the vinegar if you put it in when this is made).
