jills3... just make it again, same recipebut dont add any sugar this time... then combine the two and you'll have halved the sugar content....

Hi there,Have now bought more bags of capsicum,my question,usually you have to cut up and cover with 2tbspn salt and leave overnight, next day pour off excess juice and cook.Is it really important to leave overnight with the salt or can I just mix together and start cooking now, thank you.

Thank you rainrain,I couldnt get over the price of bag of capsicum (8) .99c and not green, so at least my boring old stews in winter will be abit tasty, thanks again.

jills3...I have heaps coming on in my garden... green, yellow, red and orange... I just cut into quarters, removed the seeds and pith,, and lay out on flat trays in the freezer... Then bagged, removed air and labelled... If you are getting them at that price... freeze a bunch for laters :}

I wish... the drugs I take have completely cut my sense of smell..I have about 3 percent and only get a "hint" ... Not good for someone that loves to cook especially with herbs and spices... I have to be careful in making additions and less is best so as not to overkill for other discerning folk at the table...
