Sweet Mustard Pickles

Would anybody have a tried and tested recipe for Sweet Mustard Pickles? I have never made this before, but would be keen to try it.

What is the main food in it??? Cucumbers???

onions and lots of them cauliflower is yummo in pickles too

Oh I see..... I know that as cauliflower pickles.

MIXED VEGETABLE MUSTARD PICKLE

2 Colanders any mixed vegetable such as cauliflower, green tomatoes, onion, cucumber, celery, beans.
125g salt to 2.5 litres water
1.25 litres vinegar
60g mustard powder
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons flour
2 level teaspoons tumeric

1] Cut vegetable up small and soak all night in brine - 125g of salt to 2.5 litres of water. Drain, cover with weak vinegar and water and boil until tender but not soft. Drain
2] In a separate saucepan, prepare the mustard mixture - bring the vinegar to the boil add the dry ingredients. Add the vegetables and boil again for a few minutes.
Mix the dry ingredients with vinegar to make a thin paste and add that with the vegetables before bringing the mix to the boil again.

That sounds very nice. Thank you so much, Stecranat. Shall try the recipe very soon.

I use chokoes to help make up the amount of vegies needed. They absorb all the flavours well. unfortunately haven't had any chokoes for a few years due to frosts, must try again next spring
Cheers

Chooksamum when is the best time to plant chokoes?

Just chopped 3 kilo green tomatoes, to use in this recipe

Sweet Mustard Pickle.

1.5kg green tomatoes, 2 large onions, sliced and layered in a bowl with 1/4 cup of salt. Allow to stand 24 hours and then drain.
Place in a saucepan with 2 cups sugar and 1 1/4 cups white vinegar, stir until sugar dissolves, bring to boil for 3 minutes.
Combine 2 Tablespoons flour, 2 teaspoons dry mustard, 1 teaspoon curry, pinch cayenne, 2 teaspoons tumeric and mix to a paste with 3 tablespoons vinegar. Add this paste to vegies, stir until boils and thickens, boil 3 minutes and bottle while hot.

Will do 3 more kilo tomorrow, and also a small batch with no onion for an alergic friend. This recipe used to have other vegies, but I dropped them out, as the main point of making it, for me, is to use up the green tommies at the end of the season.

And, just taking a moment to brag, I took out first prize at the aggi show last year with this. Mind you, the only other entry in the section came a close second.

well done of your 1st. place,

Impressed!

I made a similar recipe but must have used more/too much salt. It was too salty to be edible. I made the same recipe again but washed the tomatoes after the overnight salting. This second batch is delicious. I doesn't have flour. You just reduce it to the consistency you want. Great way to use up those green tomatoes.
