Sweet-and-Sour Cauliflower Pickles

Homemakers Best Tested

Judging from the many jars of preserved pickles from which the cauliflower has been picked out, a whole batch of cauliflower pickles should be a big hit!

Ingredients

10 oz  (300 g)  red pearl onions or white pearl onions
1 large head cauliflower (2-1/2 to 3 lb/1.25 to 1.5 kg), cut into florets (12 cups/3 L)
2 sweet red peppers (bell or shepherd), seeded and cut into chunks
4 hot banana peppers, sliced into 1-inch/2.5 cm wide rings and seeded
3 cloves garlic, halved
6 whole cloves
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  coriander seeds
4 cups  (1 L)  cider vinegar
1-1/3 cups  (325 mL)  granulated sugar
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  pickling salt
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  yellow mustard seeds

Preparation

Trim and peel raw onions (do not boil first to loosen skins). Pack cauliflower, red and banana peppers and onions tightly into 3 hot sterilized 1 L canning jars; divide garlic and cloves evenly between jars.

In saucepan over medium-low heat, lightly toast coriander seeds until fragrant and slightly darkened; add vinegar, 2 cups/500 mL water, sugar, salt and mustard seeds.Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.

Pour vinegar mixture into jars, leaving 1/2-inch/1 cm headspace. Seal with prepared discs and bands. Process jars, immersed in boiling water, for 15 minutes. Let sit at least 5 days before opening. Refrigerate after opening.

Makes three 1 L or six 500 mL jars.
