This pickled vegetables recipe was handed down to me by my mom. It's been in the family for years. These sweet and tangy pickles are delicious whether you use homegrown cucumbers or store-bought ones. They're great to have in the pantry. —Joan Haliford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Ingredients

  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 4 cups)
  • 4 cups thinly sliced onions (about 4 large)
  • 4 cups thinly sliced cucumber (about 3 medium)
  • 2 medium sweet red pepper, cut into strips
  • 2 medium green peppers, cut into strips
  • 8 quarts ice water
  • 1 cup canning salt
  • 2-1/2 cups sugar
  • 2-1/2 cups white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

  1. Place cauliflower, onions, cucumbers and peppers in a large bowl. In another large bowl, mix ice water and salt; pour over vegetables. Let stand 4 hours.
  2. Rinse vegetables and drain well. In a Dutch oven, bring sugar, vinegar, celery seed, turmeric and cloves to a boil. Add drained vegetable mixture; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are heated through, 5 minutes.
