Ingredients
1 pound Jerusalem artichokes or sun chokes, 8 to 10
4 cups water
½ cup kosher salt
2 to 6 whole, very small white onions, peeled
⅔ cup white vinegar
4 whole allspice
4 whole cloves
1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
½ teaspoon celery seeds
¼ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon peppercorns
Preparation
- Step 1
Using a small regular or swivel-bladed paring knife, peel the artichokes. If they are very large, cut them in half or even into quarters.
- Step 2
Combine the water and salt in a mixing bowl and stir until salt dissolves. Add the artichokes and let stand in a cool place overnight.
- Step 3
Drain the artichokes and put them in a one-pint sterilized glass preserving jar. Add the small white onions. Press down firmly.
- Step 4
Combine the vinegar, allspice, cloves, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, dry mustard and peppercorns in a saucepan. Bring to the boil.
- Step 5
Pour the liquid and spices over the artichokes. Seal tightly and let stand about two months before using.
