Courgette Pickle
1 kg courgettes
4 large Onions
1 red pepper (capsicum)
1 green pepper (capsicum)
½ cup plain salt
2 cups sugar (I find this a bit sweet and use 1 ½ cups aprox)
2 ½ cups white vinegar
1-cup water
2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp celery seeds
2 tsp mustard seeds
Slice vegetables finely (I use thick slice in the food processor or the “V” slicer)
Sprinkle with salt and stand for 2 hours then drain and rinse
Bring to the boil for 2 minutes all other ingredients stirring to dissolve sugar then add the vegetables return to the boil and cook gently 15 minutes bottle and seal (as you would fruit) leave for a week or so to develop flavour. Keep in fridge after opening, Nice on cold meats, or as a salad addition, or on crackers and cheese.

Can be done using young soft skin or telegraph cucumbers remove the seeds if you wish or is watery, capsicum can be omitted or use different colours. Mustard seeds can be omitted

Bread and Butter Pickle

2 litres sliced cucumbers
½ -1 litre sliced onions
½ cup plain salt
3 cups wine vinegar
2½ cups sugar
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp celery seeds
1 tsp turmeric

halve cucumber lengthwise and remove and seeds if watery, Slice cucumbers and onions by food processor or slicer (use the thick blades especially for the onion as it becomes threads if to fine) use ice-cream containers as a measure. Combine in a large bowl and mix with salt and stand 30-60 minutes, then drain and rinse well.
In a large saucepan bring the remaining ingredients to the boil add the vegetables and return to the boil Fill jars and seal with preserving seals or in jars with vacuum lids (suitable jam jars with undamaged lids)
Refrigerate after opening

Can replace cucumber with courgettes
