I've been searching for a substitue for Branston pickle. I also love picalilli and this recipe is the best that I've found so far.
ingredients
2700 gm vegetables, cut into small pieces. I used a mixture of carrots, onion, courgette, pepper, cauliflower.
350 gm salt
3400 ml water
250 gm sugar
1 tablespoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger powder
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1400 ml distilled vinegar
50 gm flour
2 tablespoons turmeric powder

method
dice the vegetables into your prefered size (mine's about ¼" cube) and soak in the salt and water for about 24 hours
blend the sugar, mustard, ginger powder and garlic with most of the vinegar and add the drained vegetables.
bring to the boil and simmer until the vegetables are just tender
blend the flour, turmeric and remaining vinegar and add to the mixture
bring to the boil and cook for another two minutes (the mixture should be thick)
bottle in clean, sterile jars
label when cold
keeps for about 12 months apparently
