terryd 8,409 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Some one posted this on facebook out of an old book. I all ways fancied trying to make some but most recipes require too many ingredients. But this one used courgettes and runners. Two things I am not short of. very easy to make and it smelled like piccalilli lol. I halved the recipe just as a tester also knocked up a crumble. Wind fall apples, blackberries and some rhubarb 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BGD 6,436 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Can't beat a bit of homemade piccalilli, I like to put some crushed chilli in mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,244 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 The recipe I follow is from Mrs Beeton's everyday cookery. The strange difference is that at no point is there any mention of cooking the vegetable mix at all. Vinegar with the chillis boiled for 3 minutes. Mixing part of the vinegar with the mustard tumeric etc, jarring whilst warm, but ain't no cooking. Works good for me though and have the benefit of growing all the ingredients. Happy days. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never cook the veg in mine either the pickling softens it up just enough, IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,462 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 How did your picallili turn out Terry? I've just been searching through for this as I remembered seeing a recipe on here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,244 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Eh up gnipper. It's that time again pal. Piccalilli. If you have the vegetables then life is good. Virtually all the ingredients are there now for the picking except cauliflower (well not round here anyway). Having done my first batch of country chutney I'll get started on the pic and put up some pics and recipes. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got cauliflower, courgette, cucumber, onion, shallots and french beans in there. I was thinking of trying a couple of experimental jars too with beetroot or other seasonings?

It was very tasty but the texture wasn't crispy enough which tallies with what you folks said about not cooking any thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,462 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 I was planning on chucking this stuff in raw, a lot of it seems to have gone soft whilst it's salting though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
