Homestyle sweet mustard pickles

Canning your own foods and preserves has been around for many, many years but I feel like it has certainly made a come back over the last few years. This recipe for sweet mustard pickles is so good and is great for meats and sandwiches. I have also preserved up some jars for great Christmas gift idea's.

1/2 cup salt

1/2 cauliflower

4 large onion's

1 cucumber

750 mls apple cider vinegar

1 tbs mustard powder

1/2 tbs curry powder

1/2 tbs ground turmeric


METHOD:

1. Combine water and salt in a large saucepan.

2. Finely chop cauliflower, onions and cucumber and add to salt water. Stand overnight.

3. Heat mixture, cook vegetables until tender, then drain.

4. Put vegetables back into pot with the vinegar, sugar, mustard, curry and turmeric and bring to boil. Then simmer for approximately   20 mins.  Add cornflour mixed with a little water and simmer until thick.

Hope everyone's  weeks is not too crazy so far. I know mine is with only 3 more sleeps until Christmas.

Take care and happy 22nd day of Christmas. XO
