Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces Cauliflower Chopped into small pieces
  • 6 ounces Shallot Sliced into small pieces
  • 6 ounces Cucumber Chopped into small pieces
  • 6 ounces Carrot Chopped into small pieces
  • 3 ounces Green Beans Chopped into small pieces
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Salt
  • 5 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2/3 cup Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Turmeric
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Mustard Powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Ground Ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon Grated Nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour

Instructions
 

  • Add all the vegetables to a large bowl, cover with water and stir in the salt. Cover with a towel and leave for 1 hour. After 1 hour drain the vegetables.
  • Add the drained vegetables, vinegar, sugar, turmeric, mustard powder, ground ginger and nutmeg to a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, sterilize the jars.
  • Fill a large pan (a pasta pan works well) with water and completely submerge the jars upright, lids as well.
  • Bring the water to a boil for 10 minutes. Keep the jars hot until ready to use, then remove from the water using tongs.
  • Mix a little water with the flour to make a paste and stir this into the pan of vegetables and simmer until thickened.
  • Fill the jars, leaving 1-inch space at the top and seal the jars tightly.
  • Store up to 3 months in a cool dry place.
