Can anyone help me with a recipe for a pickle which contains cucumber, capsicum, whole kernel corn and onion?Fabulous pickle but I have lost the recipe and cannot remember what else is in it.Thanks in anticipation - this message board has saved me on numerous occasions so I am hoping that I am lucky this time.

sounds similar to one my mum makes. its a digby law one, unfortunately I dont have the recipe. But I do know that Digby Laws cookbooks are available at our local library. Think it might be a corn relish.

Are you sure it was cucumber and not cabbage??? This is the only Digby Law one I can find that nearly fits your request.
Corn and Cabbage Relish
Pleasantly hot and deliciously corny.
9 cups whole kernel corn (either fresh, frozen or canned) 2 cups finely chopped cabbage 1 ½ cups finely chopped onion 2 cups finely chopped green pepper ½ cup finely chopped red pepper 1 tsp crushed, dried red chillies 2 tsp celery seeds 1 tsp mustard seeds 2 tsp turmeric 2 ½ tbsp salt 1 cup sugar 2 cups cider vinegar
Bring the vegetables, spices, salt, sugar and vinegar to the boil in a large saucepan. Cook, uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the relish is thickened. Ladle into hot, clean jars and seal at once. Let stand for six weeks before using. Makes about 3 litres.

Corn Relish
Bright and colourful and the perfect accompaniment to cold meats, grills and barbecues.
5 cups whole kernel corn 1 cup chopped green pepper 1 cup chopped red pepper 1 cup chopped celery ½ cup chopped onion ½ cup sugar 3 ¼ cups cider vinegar 2 tsp salt 1 tsp celery seed 2 tsp dry mustard ½ tsp turmeric ¼ cup flour ½ cup water
Place corn, peppers, celery, onion, sugar, vinegar, salt and celery seed in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender. Mix the mustard, turmeric, flour and water together. Stir into the saucepan, bring back to the boil and simmer for a further 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Pour into hot, clean jars and seal. Makes about 2 litres.

cottagerose, could you please post the method too?I'm guessing the salt is for overnight drawing of water from the cucumber and onions.
