Stuffed Mangoes Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Stuffed Mangoes Recipe, first take a melon of the sort generally used for pickling, first seeing that it is not quite ripe; cut off a slice from the top, and carefully pick out all the seeds. Shred finely 1 ounce of garlic; mix it with 2 ounces of mustard-seed, and the seeds of the melon. Now, put this back as a stuffing, place the top on, and bind it down. Boil, in 2 quarts of best vinegar, 1 ounce of Jamaica peppers, 1 ounce of whole allspice, 1 ounce of bruised ginger, and a teaspoonful of salt; when boiling pour it over the melon. The same vinegar must be put into a saucepan, boiled up again, and thrown over the melon for three successive days, or more if possible; then tie down with bladder to exclude the air.

Peaches may be substituted for the genuine mango, as the latter are difficult to obtain except in canned form.
