Mustard Pickle with recipe

I got this recipe from my mother. It turned out so great. I love its taste.

Ingredient:

Part A:

3 pounds Mustard green (3 bunches)

1 onion

5 leek

Part B: 

1-gallon water                   (16 cups)

2 cups vinegar

6 tbs and 2 tsp sugar          (20tsp)

3 tbs and 1 tsp salt              (10 tsp)

The ingredients of part B depends on how big the jar is as well as the quantity of part A.

Cooking:

1. Putting part B into a pot, and bring it to boil. Then, cool it down. While waiting for it, let's do the second step. 

This is the way I cool it down

2.  Clean mustard green 

Cut them into pieces about 3 inches long, depending on your style. (You should clean them before cutting, it is the easiest way to clean the dirt)

Cutting onion into segments, and leek into pieces.

3. Mix the ingredient in step 2 each other. (optional)

Put them in a big jar. I recommend you to use a glass jar. 

Pour the liquid of step 1 (was cooled down) into the jar.

Set it aside 3 days (it depends on the season as well). You might keep it longer in Winter than Summer.  If you want your pickle tastes sourer, just keep them more. The more you keep it in the jar, the sourer they are.

After a day, it fermented. Their color became a little yellow.

The second day

After three days,

Take the pickle out of the jar and keep them in the others. Throw away the liquid.

Enjoy.
