_To pickle Salmon to keep all the year._
Take a Salmon, cut it in six round pieces, then broil it in
white-wine, vinegar, and a little water, three parts wine and
vinegar, and one of water; let the liquor boil before you put in the
salmon, and boil it a quarter of an hour; then take it out of the
liquor, drain it very well, and take rosemary sprigs, bay-leaves,
cloves, mace, and gross pepper, a good quantity of each, boil them
in two quarts of white-wine, and two quarts of white-wine vinegar,
boil it well, then take the salmon being quite cold, and rub it with
pepper, and salt, pack it in a vessel that will but just contain it,
lay a layer of salmon and a layer of spice that is boil'd in the
liquor; but let the liquor and spice be very cold before you put it
to it; the salmon being close packed put in the liquor, and once in
half a year, or as it grows dry, put some white-wine or sack to it,
it will keep above a year; put some lemon-peel into the pickle, let
the salmon be new taken if possible.

white-wine, some salt, a bundle of sweet herbs, a few whole cloves,
a little large mace, and a little stick of cinamon, close up the
