Now that Mom has difficulties standing for long periods of time, I have received her recipes for all the great stuff that we enjoyed growing up! This was always one of my favourites and had this as a side with any meat and potato meal that we were served.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup salt
10 cups water
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 1/4 teaspoons turmeric
3 1/2 cups vinegar
10 cups cucumbers, peeled and diced
1 small cauliflower, cut in flowerets
1 1/2 cups spanish onions, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons salt
2 cups water
Directions:
1. Peel and slice cucumbers, cut onions (or use pearl onions) and break cauliflower into flowerets.
2. MAKE BRINE: Add salt to water. Boil and pour over vegetables. Cover loosely and set aside to cool (or overnight). Drain and add vegetables to sauce.
3. SAUCE: Combine dry ingredients and stir in vinegar. Heat and boil to thicken, stirring constantly. Add vegetables and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Ladle into hot jars and seal.
