- Dice the pepper, carrot and cucumber to the same size, remove the seeds from the cucumber first.
- Add salt to all the cut vegetables, stir and refrigerate for about 12 hours, best do this over night. This should draw some water out.
- Rinse the veg then pat dry on a clean t towel, fine dice the chilli (up to you if you leave the seeds in) then combine in a pan with 3/4 of the vinegar
- Combine the remaining vinegar with the cornflour and stir to a smooth paste, bring the vinegar and chilli to a boil and turn down and simmer for 10 minutes (this infuses the chilli)
- Transfer the chilli and vinegar mixture into a pan large enough to fit all of the veg into, add the sugar, turmeric and mustard powder.

- Fill the sterilised jars with piccalilli to almost the top whilst still hot, sit the paper onto the top before sealing with the lid. You may like to watch my youtube video which I have taken these screen shots from thank you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-gxV0JpfNc&t=537s
