Hey girls - When I lived back in New England, every fall we would purchase yellow mustard pickles from a local orchard. I also had purchased some once at Old Sturbridge Village. They were an staple in our autumn and winter cupboard, and I really miss them!!! I can't find anything remotely similar here in Western PA. Does anyone have a recipe for them they would like to share? Or do you know where I may be able to purchase them online? I'd really, really appreciate your help! Thanks - Nini

Nini, do you mean mustard bean pickles? This is an old family recipe and works very well. I would think you could probably substitute other vegetables as well if they weren't too big.

2 qts. yellow beans
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 tbsp tumeric
3 tbsp celery seed
1/2 cup mustard
1 quart vinegar

Cook beans until tender. Drain. Make a dressing of remaining ingredients and cook until thick, stirring constantly. Add beans and cook five minutes more. Pour into sterilized jars and seal.

Thank you, Diane! I've never heard of mustard bean pickles, but I'm definitely willing to try it - it looks yummy!!!! I probably will try it with the beans AND the cucumbers, too! Do you know what kind of vinegar to use? Thank you SO much for sharing!!! I really appreciate it! Hugs - Nini
