Hi Julie, I am back from my travels. Here is a Digby Law recipe for you. We grow them too and love them roasted or as soup- have good recipe for that too.
Artichoke Pickle.
750g artichokes, 3 red or green peppers, 1/2 C salt, 5 1/2 C white vinegar, 2 C water, 250g sugar, 2 T dry mustard, 1 T tumeric, 2t celery seed, 1 t mustard seed.

Artichoke Pickle- continued. Scrub artichokes.Finely chop with seeded peppers, onions. Sprinkle salt over them and stand 12 hours. Squeeze out as much water as poss. Combine 2 C vinegar with the 2 C cold water and pour over the veges. Let stand for 24 hrs. Drain well and discard liquid. In a saucepan, mix remaining 3 1/2 C vinegar with the sugar, then heat only until sugar just dissolved.

continued. there should be 3 med onions in the ingredients! sorry- trying to go too fast. Remove from heat, and allow to cool. Stir in the mustard, tumeric, celery seed and mustard seed. Por this over the veges and if the mixture is not moist enough add extra vinegar. Pour into clean jars and seal. Makes about 2 litres.

Julie, I would be interested to know how this recipe turns out as I haven't made it but have heaps of artichokes. I am using cider vinegar made during summer from recipe in NZ Gardener Book. Dealing to feijoas and kiwifruit from our garden and grapefruit from North Island son brought down last weekend.

Hi Cathy. thanks for the recipe. it sounds delicious. hopefully I can get some time to make it this week. wish me luck! I'm planning to make the cider vinegar once I have apples growing here - does it taste similar to the DYC cider vinegar! I'm guessing it tastes better. Hope you're enjoying all those fruits. have a lovely week.

katalin2, Jul 2, 6:31pm
Hi Julie, the cider vinegar I think is even nicer than the bought stuff. It was so easy to make too- will be doing it again next year. My marmalade turned out well- it gets such a good set at this time of the year. How did your artichoke chutney turn out!

bumping for a pickled onion recipe- not sure if there is onne here, but worth checking.

juliewn, Jul 5, 8:59am
Hi Cathy. that's great the vinegar tastes so good. I'm looking forward to making some in the future. might need to buy some apples until I have them growing here. I haven't made the chutney yet. will post here when I do - if I get time! Thanks again. Have a lovely weekend.

Bumping for you Rema. .

Hi Rema. I've included a recipe for Strawberry Jam in posts 7 and 8 on the first page of this thread - you can use that same method for kiwifruit and for any other types of jam you'd like to make. Kiwifruit jam tends to go brownish once cooked - it tastes good, just the colour is affected - some people add a little green food colouring to change that. it's up to you. Enjoy your jam. :-)

blondebabe1, Jul 10, 8:42pm
anyone got a nice kiwifruit jam recipe please?
Many thanks

Hi.. you can use the jam method I've included for strawberries in post 7 on the first page of this thread - Kiwifruit jam tends to be a bit brownish looking once made - some add a little green food colouring to make it greener in colour.

It tastes delicious on hot scones! :-)

Thank You =0)

juliewn, Jul 14, 7:44am
Hi Vanessa :-). hope all is going well for you., I've not preserved lemons - my trees are still small and as we love lemon's, I've not yet had enough of them to preserve. hopefully someone will be able to add how they make them. Have a great week. :-)

OMG this thread is great! but I'm kinda lost can someone point me to post numbers if anyone posted anything to do with tamarillos please!

thleaf, Jul 14, 5:10pm
I already got post #352 and I've made enough chutneys! Looking for other ideas jams or preserves or pickles!

juliewn, Jul 14, 10:06pm
Hi. I'm glad you like the thread. lots of tempting goodies. :-) Here's a quick way to find recipes you're looking for: .
Have a page of the thread open,- or any internet page. Either click the F3 button at the top of your keyboard, or on the lower left of your keyboard, hold down the control (Ctrl) key, and at the same time press the letter "F". A box will pop up. Type a word you're looking for - ie "tamarillo" and click next. and again. until you find what you're looking for. or you've found all the threads or posts with that word in. Not on that page! Go to the next one and repeat. This makes it easy to find any thread or posts in a thread that you're looking for. Hope this helps. Enjoy.

juliewn, Jul 14, 10:08pm
There's another thread with tamarillo recipes too. . it's currently at the top of the recipe threads. hope this helps. and. bumping for chris160179
