Ingredients

  1. 1 headcauliflower
  2. 7 cupcucumber diced, with seeds removed
  3. 1/2 cuponion, sliced
  4. 1/2 cupsliced red or green pepper, or a combination of both
  5. 2 cupsugar**
  6. 1 cupvinegar
  7. 1 tbspcoarse salt
  8. 1 tspmustard seed
  9. 1 tspcelery seed
  10. 2 largemason jars

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut up all vegetables into a large container or bowl (1 gallon capacity approx.)

  2. 2

    Combine vinegar, spices, salt, and **sugar into a jar and shake well. With the sugar, 2 cups is fairly sweet, so if you want a sweeter pickle use all 2 cups. For a tarter pickle use less. I started with 1 ½ cups in the jar and taste tested. I used about 1 ⅔ cups of sugar.

  3. 3

    Pour the liquid over the cut up vegetables, cover and refrigerate 12 – 24 hrs stirring every 6 - 8 hrs or so, making sure all the vegetables are evenly coated.

  4. 4

    The vegetable mass you started with will drop considerably and the liquid mass will double to triple in volume.

  5. 5

    Divide your pickled vegetables into 2 jars and cover with the liquid left in the container.

  6. 6

    Theses pickles will keep for 3 months in the refrigerator, if they last that long! Enjoy! :)
