To Pickle Mushrooms.

Clean them with milk & water
with or bit of flannel, lay them on a 
Cloth to dry & drain them put them in
a saucepan with a proper quantity
of salt & simmer them until they
cover their own liquor, take them out
& put them on a cloth, when cold
put them in Bottles with vinegar
& spice. I sometimes add some
white wine which makes them
finer.
