~– Finely chop or grind, through the medium blade of a food chopper,
the cucumbers, onions, and red pepper, and put each ground vegetable
into a separate bowl. Rinse the food chopper between each vegetable.
Also put into separate bowls, the gherkins, white onions, and the
cauliflower flowerets. Sprinkle each vegetable with the salt, using
about 1/4 c to each bowl. Cover the gherkins, pickling onions, and
cauliflower with cold water and let all the vegetables stand
overnight. In the morning, drain the chopped vegetables in a
colander; drain the whole vegetables and dry them with a towel. Mix
the vegetables in a preserving kettle, stir in the sugar and 6 cups
of the vinegar, and bring the mixture to a boil. Combine the flour,
mustard, tumeric and celery salt and mix them to a smooth paste with
the remaining vinegar. Stir the paste gradually into the vegetables
and continue to stir until the sauce is slightly thickened. Turn the
pickles into jars and seal at once. Makes 6 quarts.

This one sounds good but I think I’d leave the onions out since I do not like them.
