Method

Prepare vegetables (remove seeds from cucumber etc) and chop into bite sized pieces. Place in a large earthenware or stainless steel bowl, sprinkle with salt and cover with water. Allow to stand for 24 hours, then drain well and rinse. Pat dry.

Place vegetables in a large pot.

In a separate medium-sized bowl, stir together sugar, mustard powder, turmeric, curry powder, mixed spice, cayenne pepper and cornflour. Blend with a little of the vinegar to form a smooth paste. Gradually add the remaining vinegar and stir until smooth.

Pour vinegar mixture over the vegetables. Bring to the boil, stirring. Boil gently for a few minutes, until mixture has thickened and vegetables are just tender.

Remove from heat and spoon into sterilised jars. Seal and cool.

Additional tips

Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening.
