Take a Pumpion, pare it, and cut it in thin slices, dip it in beaten

Artichokes, then sweeten it with Sugar and put in a little Salt, then
butter a Dish, and bake it in it, serve it to the Table stuck full of

133. _To pickle Sprats like Anchovies._

Take a Peck of the biggest Sprats without their heads, and salt them a

salt, and then a lay of Sprats, and a few Bay leaves, then salt again;
thus do till you have filled the Vessel, put in a little Limon Pill also
among your Bay leaves, then cover the Vessel and pitch it, that no Air
get in, set it in a cool Cellar, and once in a week turn it upside down;
in three Months you may eat of them.
