Chow Chow

From a head of cauliflower trim the leaves and divide into small branches; string one quart of string beans; peel one quart of button onions. Boil each of these separately until tender. Wash one quart of little cucumbers and soak in a strong brine for twenty-four hours. Measure two quarts of vinegar; use a portion of it to mix a half pound of ground Coleman's mustard and one-quarter of an ounce of turmeric to a smooth paste and heat the remainder in an agate kettle. When boiling add to it the prepared paste and stir until it thickens; then add two tablespoonfuls of white mustard seed, one-half pound of sugar and one cupful of olive oil; cook for a moment longer; then pour over the vegetables which have been mixed and packed in glass or stone jars. .
