Pickled Mirliton - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 large white onions
1/2 large bell pepper
1/2 Tbsp. mustard seed
1 tsp. turmeric
1/8 tsp. cloves
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. vinegar (use 1/2 cider and 1/2 white vinegar)
1 c. sugar
8 to 10 young tender mirliton (if the skins are tough, they're not good)

Preparation

Wash mirliton, cut in half to remove seed.
Slice lengthwise. Chop onions and peppers into large pieces.
Combine all ingredients except mirliton in pot large enough to hold everything.
Bring to a boil.
Put mirliton in and leave just long enough to heat all the way through.
Don't boil them.
Sterilize jars and pack mirlitons in jars then pour over vinegar mixture. Seal and put in hot water bath for 10 minutes.
I've doubled, quadrupled or even more.
Still comes out wonderful.
