Brinjal Pickle
This is an authentic hot, Indian pickle packed with diced aubergines and freshly minced garlic and ginger. It is not as sweet as the commercial brands, which is an added attraction to those who love ethnic foods. It makes an excellent accompaniment to any Indian dish, or even the basis for your own curry (just add meat). Is also good served with cold meats or alternatively, why not mixed with a little mayonnaise, natural yoghurt or crème fresh for a tasty dip.

Ingredients: Aubergines, vegetable oil, fresh garlic, fresh ginger, cumin, vinegar, salt, chilli, turmeric, sugar.
Suitable for Vegetarians and those on Gluten Free Diets

Farmhouse Pickle
This pickle is popular amongst those who prefer a traditional accompliment to their cold meats, cheeses and sandwiches. I have devised this recipe, based upon the principle ingredients of the Ploughman’s / Branston Pickle, although not identical, it is as close as I can get branded product using only natural ingredients.

Ingredients: Carrots, onions, vinegar, Swede, brown sugar, white sugar, cornflour.
Suitable for Vegetarians

Sweet Piccalilli
As the name suggests this is a ‘sweet’ piccalilli, with a sharp but subtle bite. Made from only the best ingredients of shallots not pickling onions, courgettes not marrows you could easily eat this straight from the jar. Top accompliment has to be a good cheddar cheese, as good with all cheeses, cold meats and pork pies.

Ingredients: Vinegar, sugar, courgettes, shallots, cauliflower, mustard powder, turmeric, cornflour.
Suitable for Vegetarians
