I found this recipe in a magazine called "Britannia" published out of Toronto. It was submitted by a Muriel Shaw from Rohnert Park, California, formerly of County Durham, Ireland.

Cut carrots, rutabagas, and pitted dates into 1/8" cubes. Finely chop caulifower, onion, apple, zucchini and sweet gherkins. Combine all ingredients except caramel colouring in a saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to a simmer and cook until rutabaga is cooked but still slightly crunchy. Add enough caramel colouring until colour is dark brown. Bottle and seal.

I suspect the flavour will improve if aged for a few weeks before using.
