Green Tomato Pickle
May 19th, 2005
This recipe makes 12/13 lb of pickle so you need good size utensils. It’s a sweet pickle so not suitable for diabetics.
Ingredients
5lb (approx 33) green tomatoes (Grass green – no ripening streaks)
1lb white onions
2 cucumbers or courgettes
1.5 lb beans (any sort)
1 medium cauliflower
2.5 pints vinegar
2 tablespoons syrup
4 ‘good’ cups sugar
1 heaped teaspoon mustard
3 heaped tablespoons flour
1 teaspoons curry powder
half teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon tumeric
Cut the vegetables in small pieces. Mix together in a large bowl. Sprinkle a handful of salt over and leave overnight.
Next day strain off the salty liquid and reserve some of it to mix the dry ingredients with.
Bring the vinegar to the boil then add the vegetables.
When properly boiling add the syrup and sugar and boil for 15 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly.
Mix the dry ingredients to a smooth paste with some of the reserved brine off the veg.
Stir this gradually into the vinegar and vegetable mix so that it does not form lumps.
Return to the heat and boil for another 15 minutes.
Bottle the pickle while hot.
