> ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/piccalilli_71188.shtml
> ... Ingredients
> ... Wet Brine
> ... 150g/5oz kitchen or sea salt
> ... 1.5 litres/2½ pints cold water
> ... Vegetables
> ... 900 g/2lb mixed vegetables
> ... approximately 300g/10oz cauliflower florets
> ... 225g/8oz silverskin onions
> ... 175g/6oz gherkins
> ... 115g/4oz celeriac
> ... 115g/4oz green peppers
> ... Spiced Vinegar
> ... 600ml/1 pint malt vinegar
> ... 1 tsp mixed pickling spices
> ... Sauce
> ... 25g/1oz plain flour
> ... 15ml/1tbsp mustard powder, or to taste
> ... 7.5ml/½ tbsp turmeric, or to taste
> ... 2 x 5ml/2 tsp ground ginger, or to taste
> ... 3 tbsp malt vinegar
> ... strained spiced vinegar
> ...
> ... Method
> ... 1. To make the wet brine - mix the salt with cold water in a large mixing bowl,
> ... allow plenty of space for the vegetables.
> ... 2. To make the vegetables - prepare the vegetables by cutting them into 1½ cm/½
> ... inch pieces or even smaller. Make sure they are as regular in shape as possible.
> ... 3. Put into the wet brine and leave for 24 hours. Place a plate on top of the
> ... vegetables to make sure they are kept well under the liquid.
> ... 4. For the spiced vinegar - put the vinegar and spices into an aluminium or
> ... stainless steel saucepan, bring just to boiling point, lower the heat, cover the
> ... pan and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes; allow to cool. There will be less than
> ... 600ml/1 pint of vinegar but this will be correct for the sauce.
> ... 5. For the sauce - blend the flour, mustard powder, turmeric and ginger in a
> ... good sized basin, add the three tablespoons vinegar, stir to make a smooth
> ... paste. Gradually strain the spiced vinegar over the ingredients, make sure the
> ... mixture is smooth.
> ... 6. Pour into a large saucepan and stir over a low heat until as thick as
> ... required. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon without
> ... running off.
> ... 7. To complete the piccalilli - remove the vegetables from the brine, drain very
> ... well but in this case do not rinse in cold water as there is no salt in the
> ... sauce. Add to the thickened sauce. When this has reached simmering point simmer
> ... for one minute only, so the small pieces keep a good shape and texture.
> ... 8. To bottle - stir gently to ensure a good distribution of vegetables then
> ... spoon into hot sterilized jars and cover. Do not put metal tops directly over
> ... the pickle, for the vinegar would rust these. If using metal tops, line with
> ... thick cardboard.
