Homemade jams, pickles or chutneys 2019

This one sounds nice:

Summer Chutney
The basis of this chutney is courgettes and tomatoes, so it's a brilliant way to use up any late summer veggies you may have in your garden without anything going to waste. Serve it with a big salad or take it on a picnic to serve with your sarnies.

Ingredients:

• 500g tomatoes, skin removed, chopped
• 500g courgettes
• 2 large white onions
• 2 apples
• 350ml white wine vinegar
• 250g light brown sugar
• 2 tsp. mixed spice
• 1 tsp. mustard seeds
• 4 fat garlic cloves

Directions:

1. Dice the courgettes. Finely dice the onions. Peel the apples, remove the cores and dice the flesh. Crush the garlic cloves.
   
   
2. Put the tomatoes, courgettes, onions, apples, vinegar, sugar, mixed spice, mustard seeds and garlic into a saucepan. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer.
   
   
3. Cook for two hours until dark and thick. Add a little water if the chutney is sticking or burning on the pan.
   

Skip the tomatoes and just use courgettes if you like. Large courgettes are fine to use, just make sure you remove some of the seeds as otherwise the chutney will be a bit watery. This recipe makes two standard 500g jar-fulls.

 

Has anyone got a good hot sauce recipe? I really fancy making one with my habs. There's lots on Pinterest but I'd like to know if anyone can recommend one, thanks

 

Made this today. When you get a craving for something home made.

 

@Jenny namaste
Looks like they'd go nice with some white cheese.

 

Looks nice, what are the ingredients Jenny?

 

Nice one @Jenny namaste ! I usually don't do any cannjng until the summer and fall so I fill in the winter making sweets. This is from yesterday


Lime jellies

I too would like to know what you have in those tasty looking jars

 

Now your asking....
carrot, courgette, red pepper, silverskin onions, chopped fresh onion, cauliflower, green beans,garlic cloves = the veggies.
turmeric, roasted cumin, green chilli, English mustard powder, mustard seeds, plain flour, white wine vinegar, oil, honey and salt....
all in various measures...
gotta keep our mitts off it for at LEAST 2 months - somehow. It'll sit in a dark cupboard out in the garage / out of sight...

 

they look yummy - is it like a Turkish delight type finish? Wouldn't mind your recipe please Lori,
Jenny

 

I just rolled them in confectioner's sugar so they were easier to handle.

I use a cheater recipe

1 1/3 cup apple sauce
2 packages of jelly dessert - can be sugarfree or regular. I use regular because I think it sets better and I only eat one piece a day now and again.. you'll see why
2 pouches of plain gelatin (about 1.5 tablespoon in each envelope)

Mix in a pot. Let sit a few minutes then put over medium heat to bring to a boil
Boil one minute

Optional: add CBD oil if you are looking for medicinal jellies - not to be eaten frivolously!

Pour into a lined pan or I use silicone candy molds.

Leave overnight. Roll in sugar if desired or not


I have never made a chutney. I have made relishes and should remember to do that again this year.

 

wow - what strength Lori ? This is VERY interesting ...
= happy jellies ???

 

Good Lord....I was going to say I make piccalilli here when caulis are on promotion, but my recipe doesn't contain red peppers, and they certainly add some beautiful colour! But I got completely de-railed by this CBD oil business! What's that stand for? What's it do? Is it legal? Could I use fresh lime juice and zest in those jellies? So many questions, so little time....
