    Sweet-Pickled Cauliflower


    Source of Recipe


    Elisabeth Luard in "Country Living" (British), 1988.

    List of Ingredients




    1 large Cauliflower about 2 lbs., trimmed wt.
    2 oz Salt
    1 pt Water
    8 oz Onions
    1 lb Sugar
    1 pt Wine vinegar
    1 tbsp Mustard seed
    2 Short pieces cinnamon bark
    1/2 tsp Cloves
    1/2 tsp Allspice
    3 Little dried red peppers

    Recipe




    Trim the cauliflower and divide it into florets. Blanch the florets in
    boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain them and run cold water
    through
    them immediately. Slice the onions and layer them with cauliflower into
    sterilized jars. Heat the vinegar with the sugar and spices, and pour
    the
    boiling mixture into the jars. The florets should be submerged. Cover
    and
    seal while hot. Ready to eat in a week, the pickle will keep in a cool
    place all year. Makes approximately 3 lb. pickle.

    Suggestions:
    Toss a few cauliflower florets with a haricot bean salad dressed with
    olive
    oil, some of the pickling liquor, chopped garlic and parsley.
    Serve them as part of an antipasto with olives and slices of salad.
