Cut firm white cauliflowers into tiny clusters, and boil them three minutes in scalding brine. Take them out, drain, put them into a jar with cold vinegar, and let them stand in this two days. Turn this off, arrange the clusters in jars, and pour over them the following spiced vinegar:

One gallon of vinegar; one cupful of sugar; one tablespoon-ful, each, of celery seed, coriander seed, mustard seed, and whole white peppers, twelve blades of mace, and a small red pepper, sliced. These should boil together five minutes before putting the mixture upon the cauliflower.
