4 portions
Metric Imperial

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup maple vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (preferably golden syrup for its delicate flavour)
  • 4 tsp caraway seeds
  • 2 tsp pickling salt
  • 1 tsp peppercorns
  • 2 2/3 lb cauliflower (white, orange, or purple) florets

Method

  1. Perform the steps in the “Method for Preparing Jars and Lids,” found here (= lien).
  2. Make the pickling liquid in a very large pot by adding the vinegars, water, maple syrup, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper, and bringing it to a boil.
  3. Add the cauliflower, bring back to the boil, and cook 4 minutes.
  4. Remove pot from the heat. Take the florets out with a slotted spoon or silicone tongs and distribute them among the still-hot, sterilized jars to 2 cm (7/8 in) of their tops.
  5. Pour in the hot pickling liquid to 1 cm (3/8 in) of the tops, then add the aromatics (caraway and pepper) from the bottom of the pot. Use a non-metallic utensil to release air bubbles.
  6. Follow Steps 1 – 6 of the “Canning Method,” found here (= lien).

More about Maple

Maple syrup comes in four classifications, according to colour and taste.

At the start of sugaring season, syrup is generally clear, with a lightly sweet taste. It becomes darker and caramelized as the season goes on.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years.

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

100% pure maple butter contains no butter or dairy.

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple butter comes from the sap of the maple tree… and that’s all.
