Home Made Chutney

Val Harrison with her chutney

Pickles can range from the simple single ingredient pickle to quite complex mixed pickles like Piccalilli. The final flavour, especially with the simple pickles, will depend heavily on the vinegar used.

Even if you're a curry fan who enjoys a red-hot Vindaloo, try not to over spice and overwhelm the flavour of the ingredients.

Having said that, some people love a pickled onion that blows your head off!

 

These are the latest pickle recipes on our allotment growing web site. The links will open in a new window and take you directly to them.

That most traditional British pickle, Piccalilli, dates right back to the middle of eighteenth century, with the first recipes being for 'Indian Pickle or Piccalillo' in 1747. It made me smile to see a jar of 'Traditional Lancashire Piccalilli' – no doubt it should be washed down with traditional Yorkshire tea harvested from the plantations in the dales.

You don't need a great deal of specialist equipment to make your own pickles but some specialist equipment will certainly make things easier. We find the range at Lakeland to be good value.
