I really sympathise, as having gone through a major house fire myself, I know it's not just the big things lost... it's the little, totally irreplaceable, things too - like recipes - that hit hard.

I thought you might like this other recipe, too - it's not a mustard pickle, but is a good easy recipe, and it has special memories for me. Enjoy.

MEGAN'S CUCUMBER RELISH
Megan really liked this recipe because, as she said, "there's no mucking round cutting the ingredients up and leaving them overnight - you just make it and get on with it!" It's delicious.

And it always makes me think of Megan, another wonderful woman who fought, and lost, the fight against breast cancer. I used to often make jars of this for raising funds for the Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness cause, in memory of Megan, putting the “Pink Ribbon” symbol on my labels.....

2 telegraph cucumbers (or 3 ordinary long green cucumbers)
the juice of one lemon
1 dessertspn curry powder
1 tin (450 gm approx) crushed pineapple
2 large onions
250 gms sugar
1 cup vinegar
2 Tablspn flour
1/2 can baby corn cobs (optional)

Cut the cucumbers in quarters lengthwise and finely slice them. Boil all ingredients except the vinegar and flour for half an hour. Thicken the mixture with the vinegar and flour mixed together to a paste, cook a few minutes longer, then bottle.
