Chow Chow

One quart large cucumbers sliced, two quarts small ones whole, two quarts small onions, two quarts green tomatoes sliced, three heads cauliflower, six large green peppers, one and one-half gallons vinegar, twenty-four tablespoons mustard, one coffee-cup flour, two tea-cups sugar, one ounce tumeric; soak the vegetables in a weak brine over night in separate dishes, cook in the brine they soak in separately; stir the tumeric, flour, mustard and sugar with part of the vinegar, adding the rest slowly; cook in fifteen minutes and pour it over the vegetables, then boil altogether in a pail. Set in a kettle of boiling water until thick enough.
