drain the vegetables, rinse in cold water, and allow to drain again.

seed, celery seed, chillies and sugar. Boil for 3 minutes and then
add the carrots and onions and boil for 5 minutes. Fill the warmed
jars with hot vegetables and top up with vinegar to within 1cm
(half inch) of rim. Close lids firmly.
Makes approx 3 litres.
