What a wonderful thread!I have made plum jam and plum chutney and now am looking for a relish receipe that I can use some of my beans in. Does anyone have one that is simple and is it ok to use beans in a relish! TIA Kathy

Hi Bummy. they're available at Opp shops usually - ask for them if they're not on display as they're often out the back. they're usually sold from between 10c and 50c - for larger jars - each.

ps. I'm away until around 16 February, so hopefully recipes and posts will keep the thread bumped. Cheers. Julie

Bumping for Gazzkit. and Hi Kathy. I'm glad you like the thread. :-) Yes you can use beans in a relish - cut them in small pieces (or whizz them in a food processor) and use them in place of cucumber or gherkins in a relish recipe.or they're also good in a mustard type pickle like Piccalilli or Chowchow. There are recipes and pickles either in this thread, or in the relish section of the TrademeCooks website - the links to that are in the first few posts of this thread. I hope this helps. let us know how you go, and what goodies you make. Do enjoy your goodies. Julie

ps. a quick way to look for a recipe or thread: Have the messageboard on your screen - or a thread open, etc. - or any internet page. 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 "pickle" or "relish" 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.

Cucumber Pickle receipe.here it is Cucumber Pickle receipe.here it is
For this receipe I use 2 telegraph cucumbers (the long skinny ones). I have also used the same receipe to make pickled onions (for them you just peel little onions & slice them thinly). 4c Cider Vinegar, 4c sugar, 1/2c salt, 1 1/4tspn tumeric, 1 1/4tsp mustard seed, 1 1/4tsp black peppercorns. Slice up cucumbers & put in hot jar. Boil all the ingredients together for a few minutes til all blended and sugar dissolved & then pur over cucumbers or onions & put on tight lid. Ready in a coupla days. I have done cucmbers AND onions in the same container. They are awesome.

Thanks Helpless. that sounds delicious.

Preserving definitely underway here for this season. have made plum sauce, rhubarb and strawberry jam, and have preserved rhubarb and several varieties of plums. all with little or no sugar, lots more preserving to come as my tomatoes, cucumber's, etc. ripen.

Enjoy making your own goodies everyone. :-)
