2 tabs seeded mustard
2 teas dry mustard
3 teas curry powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 3/4 cups white vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
2 tabs plain flour
1/4 cup white vinegar – extra

Method:

Combine cauliflower, beans, onions and capsicum in large bowl.
Sprinkle with salt, cover and stand overnight.
Rinse vegetables under cold water and drain.
Combine vegetables with other ingredients in large boiler.
Stir over heat without boiling until sugar is dissolved.
Bring to boil, simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes
Stir in blended flour and extra vinegar.
Stir over heat until mixture boils and thickens.
Pour into sterilised jars.
mmmm - ham sandwich with pickles - yummy!

EDIT - and the pickles look like this.
