[RubySlippers]

I LOVE this stuff

i would love a recipe if anyone has one

oh yum - no recipe to offer but just wanted to say how much I love it...I think it involves tamarind...have you had aubergine pickle ?

never had aubergine pickle - sound delicious as well

did you get my email, ruby ?

Lulu - i did indeed! Some nice stuff and will pick up in April

Now, do you have a lime pickle recipe

think it's Patak's

no, i buy it in jars! will bring clothes in april x

MAS - will buy some next time i am out and about

I really like pickles and preserves - liven the dullest meals up

Lulu - i wish to be a domestic goddess and make my own in my lovely kitchen

my uncle used to carry a jar of Patak's with him to enliven meals out...

i like your uncle's style MAS!

reminds me, when i was PG with DS i was addicted to chillis and rarely went anywhere without my Jalapenos

4 green limes
1 inch piece root ginger, sliced
1 tbsp white vinegar
10 Cayenne chillies sliced
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil

Quarter the limes. Place in a large jar with 1 tsp of salt and seal. Mix the salt up by shaking then leave in a sunny spot for 3-4 days. Move the jar round regularly. Add the rest of the salt to the jar, mix, and leave for 1 month in the sun. Rotate the jar every day. Heat some oil in a pan and cook the ginger till golden. Now add the vinegar, limes and lime juice from the jar. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the spices, garlic and chillies, and cook for a further 3 minutes. Store in sterilised jars and keep in the fridge for up to 1 month.

Not mine BTW - just 'stole' it off the internet

no tamarind then...

sounds very easy - am going to try it

thanks Joash ...
