Cucumber Pickle I use this recipe for all my pickle, I use the equivalent of any other veges, I have on hand. I slice the cucumbers for a change. # 104 recipe is more like the "musto" type pickle. 4 cucumbers 2 green peppers 4 red peppers 4 onions 1/2 cup salt 3 cups sugar 2 cups white vinegar 1 teaspoons mustard seeds 2 teaspoons celery seeds 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 3 tablespoons cornflour
Prepare the cucumbers,green and red peppers and onions, sprinkle with salt for 1 1/2 hours,then drain off liquid. Add vegetables to the sugar,seeds and vinegar mix and bring to the boil. Thicken with cornflour, and a little extra vinegar.
I add a little curry sometimes. Go by taste. A nice pickle will improve on keeping. .. enjoy

Sausage rolls....6 dozen pastry::: 4 cups of plain flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 500 grams of vegetable fat,[16 ozs], chopped up small.. mix with 2 cups of milk with 4 teaspoons of vinegar added. roll out to approx 40 x 80 cm oblong..., give 4 or 5 book folds.., You can still just see little bits of fat, that is ok., rest in the fridge for 45 minutes. Roll out half at a time. I put the sausage meat through a bag fitted with a large nozzle, put a line of sausage meat along the pastry, 3 cm from the edge. Fold the pastry up and over the sausage meat. Water the edge, and fold completely over. Cut the pastry, to separate the roll. Milk cut and bake. Do that again, and if you are lucky , again. Roll the pastry out with this in mind.
Sausage meat ::: 3 x 500 gram, tubes of sausage meat, 1/2 loaf of old bread, [ crusts and all.] I am not fussed here, may add more. 500 mils of hot water over bread, cool, mix with hands and pour off excess water, if any. 1 teaspoon of salt , 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 2 good teaspoons of gravox, mix well. If it ends up a bit wet, add a few Tablespoons of whole meal flour. Note , no onion. I rather use the gravox now. cook in a hot oven
