Where has all the pickling chutney jam gone?

Recommended Posts

Hi Have logged in a couple of times for inspiration but there hasnt been a lot of chat about preserving so I thought I would start the ball rolling and ask what are you preserving now?

I have made this week- pickled beetroot, apple chutney, raspberry jam , onion marmalade, plum and apple mincemeat

and hope to make more this weekend- any other suggestions?

I boiled up a huge pan of damsons and cooking apples yesterday, so will be making the jam today.

 

Lots of red tomatoes for make a chilli jam with and yet more green tomatoes to make a chutney if I can face it later.

 

Need a few more courgettes and will then attempt Mrs Frugal's courgette relish.

I made some damson jam the other day and gooseberry jam a few weeks ago.

I am awaiting some cooking apples from a generous freecycler then I will be making spiced apple chutney :drool:

 

that spiced apple chutney sounds good......where did you get the recipe from??

Hi miffy, I use THIS recipe for spiced apple chutney. I usually use white wine vinegar though, as I don't find it so harsh as malt vinegar, and if I remember rightly I also use less vinegar as there seems to be a lot in the recipe. But it tastes deeeeeeeeelicious! :drool:

 

Edited to add - I made this chutney today and used 3/4 pint vinegar as it states in the recipe. It worked out fine so either the recipe has been altered since I last made it or my memory is playing tricks on me!

This weekend mincemeat and spiced apple and date chutney (think it might be very hot though as it is very red!) I used smoked paprika as I wanted a bit of a kick but it might have to come with a health warning. Won't know until we can try it in a couple of months.

 

I've made loads of jam over the summer and various chutneys (including a chilli-lilli which is just picalilli with added chillies) and I have put pretty covers on them and have made up a set of 12 to give to my DS and her OH for Christmas - they are very well off and don't really want much but love my home made stuff.

 

This year I have made

 

Jams

Rhubarb and ginger

Apricot and ginger (vv yummy)

Plum (a bit runny)

Blackcurrant

Gooseberry and elderflower

Strawberry & gooseberry

 

Chutneys/pickles

Green tomato chutney

Spiced apple & date

Chilli-lilli

Beetroot & ginger

 

Jellies

Mint

Redcurrant

 

Phew!

You might be able to if it's a bread machine that has a jam setting. You need to be able to simmer it to drive off some of the liquid and reduce it to a nice, thick, gloopy consistency.

I use a preserving pan to make mine and it's very easy, you just need to be able to keep an eye on it, especially towards the end, so that it doesn't catch on the bottom of the pan.
