In reply to Carlene. Carlene, It may be the type of sugar you used. If you used a dark brown sugar, it will result in a darker color. To achieve a brighter color, you might want to try using light brown sugar or regular sugar in your recipe. It could make a difference in the final appearance. Remember, though, that the taste is what truly matters, and I'm sure it's delicious regardless of the color!

Yours is such a beautiful color and mine is kinda ugly brown. Why would there be a huge difference in color?

I have made for years my husband’s family piccalilli recipe that his great Grandmother brought West on a covered wagon. It’s pretty close but includes ginger and an optional addition of cayenne with the spices you use.
