Pickled Pumpkin Sauce Peel a firm, yellow pumpkin, remove the seeds, and cut in small dice-shaped pieces. Steam until quite tender, but not soft or mushy. Place in an agate vessel or earthen crock and cover with vinegar, then turn off the vinegar and sweeten it with 1 lb sugar. Add 2 ozs whole cloves, 2 ozs stick cin- namon and boil the vinegar, sugar and spices together. Turn this syrup while boiling hot over the steamed pumpkin, and let stand a week. Then drain off the juice, boil it again, pour over the pumpkin again, and let stand another week. Repeat this process a third time, after which the juice should be rich and delicious, but if it does not seem to be quite sweet enough add more sugar and boil down quite thick. Put away in a stone crock and weight down with a small saucer or plate that will fit inside the crock, so as to keep the pumpkin under the juice. Then cover the crock with a piece of thick paper. Can also be bottled and sealed like sauce, but I never lost any of mine when put away in stone crocks, as described. Keep in a dark, cool, dry place. — [J. U., Mich.
