~----------------- Finely chop or grind, through the medium blade of
|
a food chopper, the cucumbers, onions, and red pepper, and put each
|
ground vegetable into a separate bowl. Rinse the food chopper
|
between each vegetable. Also put into separate bowls, the gherkins,
|
white onions, and the cauliflower flowerets. Sprinkle each vegetable
|
with the salt, using about 1/4 c to each bowl. Cover the gherkins,
|
pickling onions, and cauliflower with cold water and let all the
|
vegetables stand overnight. In the morning, drain the chopped
|
vegetables in a colander; drain the whole vegetables and dry them
|
with a towel. Mix the vegetables in a preserving kettle, stir in the
|
sugar and 6 cups of the vinegar, and bring the mixture to a boil.
|
Combine the flour, mustard, tumeric and celery salt and mix them to a
|
smooth paste with the remaining vinegar. Stir the paste gradually
|
into the vegetables and continue to stir until the sauce is slightly
|
thickened. Turn the pickles into jars and seal at once. Makes 6
|
quarts.
