Pickled Oysters

Ingredients

• 400 large fresh oysters
• 1 pint of vinegar
• 8 spoonfuls of salt
• 1 pint of white wine
• 6 table-spoonfuls of whole black pepper
• 8 blades of mace

Instructions

Strain the liquor of the oysters and boil it. Then pour it hot over the oysters, and let them lie in it about ten minutes. Then take them out, and cover them. Boil the liquor with the salt, pepper, mace, vinegar and wine. When cold, put the oysters in a close jar, and pour the liquor over them. Cover the jar very tight, and the oysters will keep a long time.

If the oysters are salt, put no salt to the liquor.
