Ingredients
- 2.2 pounds carrots shredded
- 2.2 pounds sweet banana peppers or Cubanelle pepper sliced thinly
- 2.2 pounds red bell pepper sliced thinly
- 2.2 pounds onion sliced julienne
- 2.2 pounds green tomatoes thinly sliced
- 2 medium celeriac plus the leaves shred the celeriac and chop the leaves
- 4 cups plain water
- 2 cups white vinegar 5% acidity
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 3 ½ tablespoons salt
- 2 ½ cups yellow mustard
- 3 ½ cups vegetable oil like sunflower oil
Instructions
- Clean and sterilize the jars.
- Prepare the vegetables: slice the onions julienne, shred the carrots and the celeriac (a food processor works perfect for this step), slice thinly the peppers and the green tomatoes.
- In a large pot, bring to a boil the water, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and bay leaves.
- When the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil, throw the vegetables in the pot in the following order: carrots, celeriac, onions, peppers and finally the green tomatoes.
- Bring the pot back to a boil and keep the vegetables only 3 minutes from the time the pot started to boil again.
- Remove them with a spatula and place them in a large bowl.
- You will NOT need the vinegar and water solution anymore after that.
- Whisk the mustard and the oil separately, like a mayonnaise.
- Pour the mustard sauce over the mix of vegetables in the bowl and mix well.
- Fill up the jars with this hot vegetable mixture, close the jars tight and process the jars for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
- Keep the jars in a cool, dark place and consume them in the next 6 months.
- Serve this vegetable mixture as an appetizer, salad or next to roasted meats in the winter.
