Cucumbers for Sauce

Split, peel, remove the seeds, and cut the cucumbers in inch pieces, and when all are finished, throw in some salt;—at the rate of two ounces to the pound of cucumbers; move them together for a few minutes, and allow them to steep in the salt for four hours, to extract the water: they must then be drained, and filled into the tin boxes; fill up with boiled water, solder them down, and boil them in the usual way for half an hour.
