Is this recipe safe?

Hello,

I found this relish recipe on the web. Is it safe? The directions say to process for 10 minutes.

Thank you.

Ingredients

* 7 large English cucumbers

* 4 large sweet onions, peeled

* 1/4 cup pickling salt

* 3 cups white sugar

* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

* 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

* 1 teaspoon ground ginger

* 1 teaspoon celery seed

* 3 cups distilled white vinegar

* 1 cup water

* 4 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings

No. It has flour. A definite no no. Sorry.

There are a few tested flour-thickened pickles extant, but AFAIK, yours isn't one.

The Ball Blue Book has a very nice flour-thickened Mustard Pickle. I'd recommend you take a look at that one instead of the recipe you posted.

For that sort of pickle generally you need more vinegar (basically 100% except for minimal water to slurry with the flour) and a longer processing time for pints than 10 minutes.
