Subject:        Samphire

For fans of King Lear, and Heywood's Rape of Lucrece for that matter, I
have found this recipe for Samphire.

To Pickle Samphire

Strew a little salt
in the bottom of a jar

& than put in a little
Fresh gathered Samphire

& so till the jar is full.
Boil sufficient Vinegar

to cover it & pour it in boiling.
Cover the jar with a plate

& let it remain 2 days.
Then pour off the Vinegar

& boil it again.  Pour on
the Samphire, boiling as before

& let it stand 2 more days.
Pour off the Vinegar

& boil the third time as before.
Let it remain till cold,

then tie it down.

From Dorset Dishes of the 18th Century.

Sorry I don't have a fuller reference.
