Does anyone have a recipe for making mustard pickles AKA Senf gurken?

I would like to make some and toast my Oma.

TIA,

Peppi

RE: Yellow cukes-mustard pickles

Do you want to make just a jar or 2 to keep in the fridge or are you looking to can and shelf store them?

Canning and shelf storage may be a problem. Far as I know there is only 1 recipe approved for canning and it is in the Ball Blue Book. It's a Mustard Pickles recipe that calls for 1/2 c of prepared mustard but it also uses green tomatoes, green and red peppers, cauliflower and other vegetables in it.

But Senfgurken is normally made with mustard seeds and just kept in the fridge, not canned AFAIK. Lots of different recipes available for it on Google.

This one could be canned since it is packed in straight vinegar. But they will be mushy just so you know. It is from Cooks.com

Linda Ziedrich has a traditional Senfgurken in her pickling book.

IIRC, the recipe uses only mustard seeds, not dry powder or wet mustard and can be standard boiling water bath or pasteurized.

I remember the other day I saw a recipe for a mustard pickle without any thickening, but darned if I remember right now which book it's in.
