You'll love this one. I never have enough left to can.

 CROCK PICKLES

This recipe makes 4 quarts

          3 cups vinegar
          1 cup water
          2 pounds brown sugar
          1 Tablespoon tumeric
          1/2 cup powdered mustard
          1/2 cup pickling salt

Make a paste of the sugar, tumeric, mustard powder and salt using
some of the vinegar and then stir in the rest of the vinegar and
the water and put the brine into a crock.

Add a bag of mixed pickling spice.

To this add:-
          small onions
          small cucumbers
          celery, cut into chunks
          string beans
          cauliflower
                 stir, and add, and stir some more.  

Weigh the vegetables down with a plate and cover the crock closely.

Bottle and seal when ever you wish.
