My Mil's Mustard Pickles (Like Piccalilli) for Canning

"I'm fairly sure this recipe has been passed down from a few generations. My MIL makes these every year and we love them. One time, my husband asked her for the recipe and she told us she "didn't have it written down, it was all in her head". The recipe was sitting on her kitchen counter one day when we visited from out-of-state and I snatched it and copied it before she noticed."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Born and raised in Scotland, I'm an accidental ex-pat and now reside in south-west Montana. I've been in the States 20 years now. I have an amazing husband, three boys and a girl and 2 dogs. I love to cook and have become quite a bit of a foodie. I'm always on the lookout for a great, classically British recipe. I can't say I have a favourite cookbook, but I love to collect my own recipes in a huge 3" binder. I'll try anything once.
