Put the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, curry powder, cumin, mustard and turmeric in a non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the ramps and cook for exactly one minute. Remove the pan from the heat and submerge it in a bowl of cold water until it has cooled down.
Place the ramps and brine in a jar and allow the ramps to pickle for at least one week before eating.
