Update on the week
One of my birthday presents will be a great asset at the allotment as it is a rhino carrier. The amount of weeds we remove and the amount of manure to be moved will be much easier now that the rhinos can be wheeled around rather than carried.
We have had our first shallots and wished that I had grown more as they are really strong and a lot more useful than I expected. This moves nicely on to today's recipe.
Picalilli
A large pan full of mixed vegetables: Home grown - shallotts, gherkins (small ridge cucumbers), courgettes. Bought - cauliflower.
Teaspoonful - turmeric, ground ginger, mustart powder.
1.5 litres vinegar. Tablespoon sugar. Cornflower.
Chop the veg really small and leave overnight in a pan full of salt water.
Mix the vinegar with the spices and sugar and bring to the boil. Add the vegetables and boil until cooked but slightly crisp.
Mix cornflower with a small amount of vinegar to thicken and bottle while still hot.
