Equipment

  • canning jars and lids
  • canner
  • canning tongs

Ingredients

  • 2 medium cucumbers
  • 1 sweet red bell pepper
  • 2 medium yellow onions
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon regular mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed optional
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¾ oz powdered pectin
  • 2 cups sugar

Instructions

  • Peel and seed cucumbers, Dice finely.
  • Dice onion and red pepper. (Try to make dice match the cucumber dice.)
  • Allow vegetables to drain in a colander about 1 hour.
  • While vegetables are draining prepare your canner by filling it with enough water to cover your canning jars by 2 inches and bring water to a boil.
  • Preheat oven to 275°. Place canning jars on a baking sheet (preferably lined with silicone) and bake 20 minutes to sterilize the jars.
  • Prepare a bowl or saucepan with boiling water so you will be able to immerse the lids and bands in boiling water for 5 minutes just before you will seal the filled jars.
  • Press as much liquid out of the vegetables as possible and transfer to a large pot.
  • Add vinegar, mustard, salt, mustard seed, turmeric to the pot and mix well. Add the pectin and stir to mix.
  • Bring mixture to a boil, add the sugar and return to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • Ladle hot mixture into sterilized jars leaving ½" head space. Stir with a knife to remove any air bubbles. Wipe jar rims and seal.
  • Can closed jars for 10 minutes, with water covering jars by 2 inches.
  • Remove jars from canner and allow to cool at room temperature about 12 hours. Unscrew the band and check that the lid has sealed.
  • Store at room temperature in a dark place up to 1 year.
