Ingredients:

2 pounds Jamaica ginger
1 3/4 pounds yellow mustard seed
1 1/2 pounds Zanzibar cloves
2 1/4 pounds Indian black pepper
1 1/2 pounds Birdseye or nyasa chilies
3/4 pound mace
3/4 pound coriander seed
3 1/2 pounds pimento
 

Preparation:

An English mixture of whole spices, used for chutneys, pickled fruits and vegetables, and to spice vinegar. The spices can either be tied in a small muslin bag and removed after pickling, or added straight to the vinegar, depending on the type of pickle. Spice merchants have their own versions; here are two given in Law's Grocer's Manual (1950 edition). To make manageable domestic amounts, substitute 25 g (1 oz) or even 15 g (1/2 oz) for each pound.
