MUM'S SWEET MIXED PICKLES
I loved these. Especially the little onions :) Mum would make a special little jar for me of just onions and cauliflower. As I got older she continued this little tradition every year xo Now as I've mentioned in other recipes of hers, she didn't leave me with any methods of doing things, so I only have what I have and no...
