MIXED VEGETABLE PICKLES



Mixed Vegetable Pickles image

These refrigerator pickles are easy and versatile. The recipe calls for cauliflower and carrots but you can use any equivalent amount of cucumbers, broccoli, peppers, brussels sprouts, baby squash or baby zucchini. These will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator. This recipe comes from the Chicago Tribune Good Eating section. Prep time does not include standing and chilling time.

This is the recipe I use. It makes a small batch about 5 quarts. It is an east coast favourite (I am from New Brunswick, Canada) and is typically served with meat and potato meals.

Combine salt with lukewarm water, stirring until dissolved. Pour over vegetables and let stand 24 hours. Make sure vegetables are covered, I often have to make the brine a couple of times to have them covered.
  • After 24 hours, drain the vegetables well, and rinse them well.
  • Combine sugar, flour, mustard, celery seeds and tumeric in a large saucepan, stir until well mixed. Whisk in vinegar and water. Bring to to a boil over high heat stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened. Add vegetables and return to a boil for 30 seconds.
  • Remove hot jars from canner. Remove vegetables from liquid with a slotted spoon; pack into jars. Process 10 minutes for pints (500 ml) jars and 15 minutes for quart (1 L) jars.
