I like sweet pickled cauliflower and when you buy sweet pickles you only get
a couple of pieces.

Anyone have a recipe that doesn't include mustard seed?


Helen, I'll bet you could use a B&B pickle recipe like the one below and
just leave out the mustard seed. If the issue with the seeds is that
they're ‹ seeds ‹ and verboten because of diverticulitis or something,
put the mixture in a spice bag while you boil the syrup/brine and remove
it. Just some thoughts.

€ 4 quarts sliced medium cukes (about 25)
€ 3 cups sliced onions (about 4 medium)
€ 2 green peppers chopped (or 1 red
€ and 1 green)
€ 3 cloves garlic sliced
€ 1/3 cup canning salt
€ 5 cups sugar
€ 3 cups cider vinegar
€ 1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
€ 1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
€ 2 tablespoons mustard seed
Combine cukes, onions, (cauliflower), pepper, and garlic. Add salt;
cover with cracked ice; mix thoroughly. Let stand three hours, drain
well. Combine remaining ingredients, pour over cuke mixture. Heat just
to a boil. Seal in hot, sterilized jars. Yield: 7-8 pints.
