This has been taken off the shelves at both NW and Countdown so finally found some (last jar) at local Deli/Grocer Shop, twice the price I would normally pay!.Going to mix it with cream cheese and NOM NOM NOM.

lindylambchops1 that was very kind of you but it didn't have curry in it and was/is a lovely bright green colour.

This recipe was given to me by an elderly friend many years ago- of the many relishes and pickles I make each year it is the most popular. The bright green colour in commercial gherkin relish will be due to artificial colouring. Gherkin Relish 1.5 kg gherkins 1 kg onions 2 tbsp common salt 4 C sugar 5C vinegar 1 1/2 t tumeric 1 t celery seed 2 T mustard seed Mince or carefully process gherkins and onions; sprinkle with salt ; LEAVE OVERNIGHT; DRAIN. Place in saucepan with other ingredients. Bring to boil, simmer for about 20 minutes. Thicken with 4 T flour mixed to a paste with cider vinegar. Bottle and seal

Sorry, been at work, here it is. If I can't find fresh gherkins , I use jars of pickled gherkins. Buying jars, means you can omit the step of soaking the gherkins in salt. 1 1/2 kg gherkins , 6 med onions, 125 g salt :- Cover with water and the salt and leave overnight, drain. Omit this step if using jars of gherkins. ( I omitted the onions as well, made no difference to taste whatsoever) Add chopped gherkins, 4 c sugar, 4 c white vinegar, 1 1/2 tsp turmeric, 2tbsp mustard seeds, 2 dsp curry, 1 tsp celery seeds. Boil 10 mins, then add 1 (432g ) tin crushed pineapple & 2 finely chopped red capsicums, Boil again 10 mins. Thicken with cornflour and water if needed. Pour into sterilized jars. Keeps very well if it not devoured.

I make the corn relish one too.Took me years to get the courage to try the gherkin one but once you start - you can't stop.Have just made first batch for family get together tonight.We have a family friend who turns into 'Santa' every year and the younger kids get to open the door to him.He sits and listen's to everyone's wishes and we all have photos taken with him.He has been doing it for 17 years now.Not Christmas for us until 'Santa' has been :)

Thank you wheelz, my gherkin plants are doing well this year so I will definitely be trying your recipe as well as my usual old family one, all the family love it way better than store bought.
