I like sweet pickled cauliflower and when you buy sweet pickles you only

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.


Bread & Butter Pickles
Barb Schaller, posted to r.f.preserving again 7-12-2008

? 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.

Thanks but it has just what I don't like in a sweet pickle. turmeric,
celery seed, mustard seed.

I want a plain sweet pickle. I have a recipe from my mom, but it is a 4
day pickle and I'm sure there is a more modern version out there. I do not
like mustardy pickles.
