Cut in four pieces, dip in boiling water, and scrape until perfectly white. Wash in water slightly salted; then soak five or six days in water, slightly salted, changing the water daily. For immediate use, simmer in water until tender; if it is to be kept, boil eight or ten minutes, then drain and cover with hot vinegar.
