Hattie Anderson's Pickled Artichokes


1 Peck Jerusalem Artichokes
6 Onions sliced medium thickness
1 9 oz. jar French's prepared mustard
3 tb Tumeric
3 tb Mustard seed
2 tb Dry mustard
5 c Sugar
1/2 ga Apple cider vinegar
1 pt Apple cider vinegar
small amount of fried red pepper in each jar.

Place artichokes and sliced onions in sterilized jars, add peppers. Mix dry ingredients with vinegar, gradually.

Put on stove, let come to a boil. Stir so everything will be dissolved. Pour over artichokes.

Seal while hot and process.

Let pickled artichokes season for a month before opening. Turn jar upside down and shake every day or so, making sure to place a different end up each time so the seasoning will not settle for too long.

How many artichokes are there in a peck

Alan

[snooky]

Whilst searching for recipes for using the Jerusalem Artichokes I"ve grown, the answer to Alan"s question is that there is eight quarts or 53 cubic inches in a "Peck."
If a tomato is 3 cubic inches then there are approx.17 tomatoes in a "Peck".
A lot more if they are cherry tomatoes
