Mum's Sweet Mixed Pickles image

I loved these. Especially the little onions :) Mum would make a special little jar for me of just onions and cauliflower. As I got older she continued this little tradition every year xo Now as I've mentioned in other recipes of hers, she didn't leave me with any methods of doing things, so I only have what I have and no...

I found that the pickles were a bit too vinegary. I would recommend using less vinegar in the recipe.

These pickles are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by half.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pickles turned out perfectly. They are the perfect balance of sweet and sour, and they have a great crunch. I will definitely be making these again.

These pickles are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some cucumbers and onions that were about to go bad, so I decided to make a batch of these pickles. They turned out great! The pickles are脆脆的and flavorful, and they have a nice shelf

I was skeptical at first, but these pickles are surprisingly good! The sweetness is just right and the vinegar flavor is not overpowering. I especially like the addition of mustard seeds, which gives the pickles a nice little kick.
