With a sharp knife cut through the rinds just deep enough to allow them to be stripped off in quarters with the end of a spoon, and throw them for a night into plenty of cold water, the next Morning boil them sufficiently tender to allow the head of a pin to piece them easily, then strain well, let them cool, and scrape out the white part of the rind, and cut the remainder into thin slices.
