pickled mushrooms Pickled Mushrooms Pickled mushrooms This has only 1/4 cup of oil, but I would just omit if you don't want it. The recipe I use does have oil, but are wonderful 2 Lb. button mushrooms 2 Tbsp. pickling salt 1/2 cup water 3 cups cider vinegar, 5 percent acidity 2 cloves garlic 1/4 extra virgin olive oil 4 bay leaves 1 tsp. black peppercorns 1 tsp. dill seed 4 dried red chilies Wash and trim mushrooms, place in saucepan with enough water to cover; add salt and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Rinse several times and drain. In the same pan, combine water, vinegar, and oil. Bring to a boil. Add mushrooms; simmer 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms from brine with a slotted spoon and pack into hot half pint jars. Place 1/2 tsp. chopped garlic, 1 bay leaf, 1 red chili, 1/4 tsp. peppercorns, and 1/4 tsp. dill seed into each jar. Pour brine to cover. Seal with lids, process in water bath canner for 10 minutes. Wait 2 weeks before opening to allow flavors to blend. This is a copy and paste i found on the net. Lyn

Yum Whiskey. I bet it will taste very good! My lemon trees are still young - 3 lemons on one of them, one on the other - can't wait till I have lot's of beautiful lemons to enjoy - they're one of my favourite fruits. In the meantime, two friend's have said "come and help yourself to lemon's - even if we're not home, fill up a bag" - which is much appreciated. I can eat lemons like an apple - peel one and eat it! Sooo delicious. Let us know how your lemon curd tastes on your toast!

My Lemon Curd. didn't last very long:( I made one and a half jars and after making a fresh loaf of bread plus one brought loaf there is nothing left of it. Oh well it was only half a batch just to see how it turned out:) Now i can make a full batch.(And hide 1 jar lol)

I completely understand! lol. it is sooo nice isn't it. Actually, I use a jar of it as the lemon part of a lemon meringue pie - it gives a better flavour I've found than the usual filling. Enjoy your delicious goodies.

Hi hsv941 - I've not seen any recipes for relish etc using blackberries - however you could use them in place of tomatoes in a tomato relish recipe - maybe reduce the sugar that is added, as the blackberries will be sweeter than tomatoes. The Edmonds book has a really nice tomato relish recipe - the best I've ever used. If you've not got an Edmonds book, let me know here and I'll post the recipe for you. Cheers. Julie

hi everyone i need a recipe for cucumber pickle as it looks as if i will have them coming out of my ears soon. i have telegraph and short so anything would be appreciated. thanks a million

ps. a quick way to look for a recipe or thread: Have the messageboard on your screen - or a thread open, etc. 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 "cucumber" or 'pickle' 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. makes it easy to find any thread or posts in a thread that you're looking for. Cheers.

Has anyone got a recipe for tropical fruit chutney I had one years ago, but lost it. My tip is that if you have one of those sauce makers - I've got a double walled pan that you put water in between the walls, but I think an electric one would do too - lemon curd is a breeze. Just put everything in, simmer with the occasional stir and it's done.
