British Vegetable Relish
- Ingredients
- ½ Cauliflower (about 14 ounces)
- 1 Zucchini (about 10 ounces)
- 3 carrots (about 300 grams)
- ½ Cucumber (about 3.5 ounces)
- 1 pc Hokkaido pumpkin (about 10.5 ounces), or Butternut Squash
- 5 ozs shallots
- 2 Tbsps salt
- 2 ozs English mustard powder (In spice stores or well-stocked supermarkets)
- 1 Tbsp ground Turmeric
- 2 heaping Tbsps Pastry flour (about 40 grams)
- ½ tsp white peppers
- 3 Tbsps ground ginger
- 1 ¾ cups Malt vinegar (or cider vinegar)
Rinse cauliflower, drain and cut florets into 1/2-inch pieces. Rinse zucchini and wipe dry. Peel carrots. Rinse cucumber and wipe dry. Peel shallots. Scoop seeds from pumpkin pieces. Cut all vegetables into 1 approximately 1/2-inch pieces.
Place vegetables in a large bowl and mix with salt. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand overnight.
Rinse jars, each 8 ounces, and their matching lids in boiling water, then leave jars upside down to dry on a kitchen towel. Drain salted vegetables well.
Mix together mustard powder, turmeric, pastry flour, white pepper and ground ginger in a pot. Add just enough vinegar to make a smooth paste.
Stir remaining vinegar into the pot. Add vegetables with about 4 ounces water and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat.
Once mixture begins to thicken, continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring. Divide hot vegetable mixture among prepared jars and secure lids. Place upside down for 5 minutes, then turn right side up and let cool completely. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Tip: To preserve for longer, process jars according to manufacturer's instructions (or visit http://nchfp.uga.edu/).
