| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Combine the lemon juice and about 2 quarts of cold water in a deep pot. With a small sharp knife, peel the Jerusalem artichokes and cut them into ˝-inch cubes, dropping the cubes into the lemon-water mixture to prevent discoloring as you proceed.
|
2. Combine the vinegar, sugar, celery seeds, turmeric, mustard and salt in a 2- to 3-quart enameled or stainless-steel saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
|
3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the syrup uncovered for 2 or 3 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the squares of bell pepper.
|
4. To assemble the pickles, pack the Jerusalem artichokes tightly into the jars. Ladle in the hot syrup, a little at a time, allowing it to flow through to the bottom of the jars before adding more.
|
5. Fill the jars to within 1/8 inch of the top and process the jars for 10 minutes in a hot-water bath. Set the pickles aside in a cool place (preferably not the refrigerator) for 1 week before serving.
