peppers
(from The American Frugal Housewife, by Lydia Maria Child, 1832)

Ingredients:

peppers​

salt and water​

scalding vinegar​

1 bag of mustard-seed to improve​

Instructions:

Put peppers into strong salt and water, until they become yellow; then turn them green by keeping them in warm salt and water, shifting them every two days. Then drain them, and pour scalding vinegar over them. A bag of mustard-seed is an improvement. If there is mother in vinegar, scald and strain it.​
