Put the articles you intend to pickle, in a pot; and cover them with boiling salt and water: put a thick cloth on the top, and then a plate that will fit it; let it stand till the next morning, then pour off the salt and water, boil it again, and cover them as before; do this until your pickles are a good green; then put them in plain cold vinegar, with some turmeric in it; and at the end of a fortnight, put them up, as you do the yellow pickle.
The Virginia Housewife (1860).
