Ingredients:

  • 2 3/4 kg onions (4.4 lb)
  • 1 large cauliflower
  • 2 1/3 kg sugar (4.3 lb)
  • 3 1/2 bottles of table vinegar (not draught vinegar, 3 x 34 oz bottles)
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 tbsp mustard
  • 28 1/2 g turmeric (1 oz)
  • 2 tbsp curry

Directions:

  1. Cut up vegetables, add the salt, cover with cold water and leave to stand overnight.
  2. Pour off the liquid next morning, put vegetables in to big pan (or several as necessary) and cover with vinegar.
  3. Add sugar and cook until soft.
  4. Mix the flour, mustard, turmeric, curry and mix to a smooth paste with some cold vinegar.
  5. Remove main mixture from heat and add paste in stages VERY carefully to the main mixture (too much too quick and it will become lumpy) Stir well and boil for 5 minutes.
  6. Bottle in screw-top jars.
  7. Refrigerated, this stuff keeps for months and months.
  8. Note: This makes at least 19 large jars, so I'd highly recommend doing a 1/2 or 1/4 recipe first!
