Never made pickle & someone will help. I'd maybe add sugar. Have you Googled for any hints! Reheating may make it hotter.

pickle will mellow with time, it does need time to sit, much like a good wine/port. A lot of my pickles suggest you leave them for 3-6mths before using. I always bottle mine hot into hot jars and seal immediately.

It's not the turmeric, I'd guess it may be the chillies etc. in the pickling spice, not sure what mix of spices was used.You could try adding more veges & sugar and cook up again.

I made one from the Nz Gardener and boy was it hot and i eat chillis i though well one for me the rest wouldn`t touch it well a year later and can`t even taste the chill and they`ve gobbled it down;so yours may mellow out .
