PEPPER MANGOES. ✠

Are put up in the same way, using green peppers that are full grown,

but not tinged with red.

They are very good, but your fingers will smart after thrusting them

into the peppers to pull out the seeds. For this purpose I have used,

first, a small penknife, to cut the core from its attachment to the

stem-end of the pepper, then a smooth bit of stick, to pry open the

slit in the side and work out the loose core or bunch of seed. By the

exercise of a little ingenuity you may spare yourself all suffering

from this cause. Should your fingers burn badly, anoint them with

sweet-oil and wear gloves that night. Cream will also allay the smart.
