How to Make The Almost Original Branston Pickle Recipe

  1. Wash and prepare all vegetables as indicated in the ingredients list.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, combine all the prepared vegetables.
  3. Add the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard powder, and spices. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 150 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The mixture should thicken and reduce.
  5. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during simmering.
  6. After 150 minutes, carefully transfer the hot Branston Pickle into sterilised jars, leaving a small space at the top.
  7. Seal the jars tightly and leave to cool completely. The pickle will thicken further as it cools.
  8. Once completely cool, store the Branston Pickle in a cool, dark place. It will keep for several weeks.
