"These are the best mustard pickles that you will ever have...if you love mustard pickles, and have some time, these are well-worth the time and effort to prepare, once you make these a few times, you will probably do them with your eyes closed!...a definate must-make! Note: plan ahead, the blanched veggies have to sit for 12 hours."

I don't see where you rinse the veggies after you drain them so I assume the remaining salt stays in . Is this correct ? I sure hope so ! I made the bread and butter pickles from here and they were to be rinsed . They were excellent by the way !! Everyone loves them !

Hi, I'm trying to find out if u cover the cucz and peppers for 12 hours with cold water as it states because in notes it says.. "Note: plan ahead, the blanched veggies have to sit for 12 hours" indicating they were heated. Also, after u do bring the veggie mixture to a boil and then drain in a large colander do u rinse the veggies? Thoughts? Any help would b appreciated. Sounds like a great recipe just want to get it right? Thank you. John

These pickles turned out just as I remember the ones I would have as a child visiting Prince Edward Island. I didnt add the cauliflower because I forgot to buy it ....there is always next time.

Well I finally got around to making these! I did exactly what the recipe said. Was a little confused at the beginning , because recipe says to put the veggies back on the element after soaking them for 12 hours. But, I just left them in their raw form soaking in the salty H20 overnight in the garage .. lol. I also added half a tsp of cayenne pepper. They are absolutely fantastic. Will be making lots of these. Thank you so much for the recipe. Maria

Such a great recipe, thank you for sharing My adjustments: was initially worried that sauce may be too thick but by the time I added the veggies and the bit of liquid that was in bottom of bowl, worked perfectly. I also did not boil the veggies in sauce. Because we prefer a crispy pickle, simply folded the veggies in and mix with cooked sauce. Then bottled the pickles. Will make this again!

I like things spicy so I tried using hot mustard powder instead or regular it gave a tiny bit more zing but still not enough for me... so I added a half table spoon of cayenne and now it's got sweet and heat.... great recipe
