Bumping this thread - and the recipes - we've been doing some preserving lately and are thrilled with the way our pantry looks.

Has anyone tried using tamarillo's to make jelly - the jam type of jelly! I'd think it would taste very good, without the pips to bite on.

How are your preserves going everyone!. Late autumn harvestings still happening - and preserving slowing a bit - though tamarillo's and apples are still around.

Has anyone tried making a caramelised onions recipe and preserving it in jars! It would be a useful addition to the preserves pantry - open a jar, zap to heat and it's ready to serve with hot or cold meats, bbq's, in hot dog rolls, etc. or used in sandwiches and filled rolls. Hopefully someone has tried it. Thanks for your help.

juliewn I've seen your pickled onion recipe on the first page of this thread. how long will these keep for as they're not vacuum sealed with hot liquid (hope that makes sense). Got my onions and ready to go tomorrow.

the red onion jam recipe appears to be a good one - I can't make it fast enough for friends to try!I did make feijoa chutney on Thursday - nice too - I might have added to much cider vinegar though and I am hoping the 'tang' soothes some over a week or so. happy preserving everyone: ) Tree tomatoes are next on my list!Waves to Juliewn : )

Hi Loopy. they'll keep well - easily a year - as it's the vinegar that helps with that. I find they stay crisper than any of the recipes I've tried that include heating the vinegar. Hope this helps.

Hi Vanessa. :-) Tamarillo's - yum. we have the first flowers on our tree. fruit soon hopefully, though the flowers seem to be late. Might be something to do with me pinching the centre of the branches out every time the branches got to be about a foot longer - there are now many branches - and hopefully there'll be plenty of fruit too! Enjoy your goodies. :-)
