Chunky Mustard Beans with Red Peppers
- 2 pounds green beans or yellow
- 2 cups hot chili peppers julienne strips
- 1 1/2 cups onions coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 13 cup dry mustard
- 13 cup flour, all-purpose
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 113 cups brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 cup water cold
- 2 cups white vinegar or cider
- 1 tablespoon celery seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
- Remove stem end from beans; cut beans into 1 inch lengths.
- There should be about 8 cups.
- In a large pot of rapidly boiling water, cook beans, about 13 at a time, until tender-crunchy, about 3 minutes.
- As each batch cooks, transfer immediately to large bowl of cold water to chill.
- Blanch peppers and onions in similar way, boiling peppers for 1 minute and onions for 2 minutes.
- Drain thoroughly.
- In a medium bowl, blend tumeric, mustard, flour and salt into sugar.
- Stir in cold water to make a smooth paste.
- In a large heavy preserving kettle, combine vinegar and celery and mustard seeds; bring to boil.
- Stir in about 1 cup of spiced vinegar into mustard paste, then whisk mustard past into spiced vinegar in saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth.
- Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, for 5 minutes.
- Pour drained vegetables into sauce; mix well and return to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Ladle into hot sterilized jars leaving 18 inch head space.
- Seal.
- I prefer to process these in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes for 1/2 pint jars and 15 minutes for pint jars.
- Makes about 9 cups.
