Long Plum Pickle

Take the long plums, or what the natives call nar kollee bhyar; remove the peel, and keep them in salt in the sun for a day or two; drain away the salt water, and put them in to bottles, in layers alternately with fresh chilies, cloves of garlic, ginger finely sliced, and peppercorns; add a little more salt, and pour in as much vinegar as will cover the whole; cork and expose to the sun for fifteen to twenty days. This is one of the most delicious of Indian pickles; it will not be fit for use until the plums have pickled for six months.
