Preserved pears today  :)

Spicy pear and dried apricot chutney with ginger, chilli and lime.  Pickled pears in a sugar and vinegar mix with garlic, chilli, peppercorns and dried rosemary.  OH arrived home, said the house smelt lovely and went looking for goodies.  He wasn’t best pleased when I said they had to mature, the chutney needed 2 months and the pickles were being saved for the end of the year for eating with cold meats and cheese so hands off   :lol:

I remember being at school and the whole building smelling when it was chutney making time in the Domestic Science block.  Made all our mouths water and want pickles with lunch.

Elder daughter has started a very simple preserve system, with the simple slicing of a couple of red onions plonked in a jar of cider vinegar for a day or so!

They really do taste fabulous, and will have lost the sharpness of a raw onion but don't last long as they get too soft! So, for a week or so, there's a great additive to a sandwich or a salad for very little outlay!

Ooh goodness, not much made before Yule on here!
Today I made the first batch of marmalade for this NewYear 2024, actually 2 batches & 2 more to do tomorrow from frozen fruits, but I got mixed up when I slow cooked the fruits yesterday so ended up with 4lbs cooked. Not sure what we’ll do with it all but the fruits have been in the freezer for a long while. Flavoured 4 big & 2 little with whisky.
Then there’s gooseberry & mint jelly I made last week I think it was .
Then a photo of some of the pantry after a move round.
I had made lots of chutneys in the autumn but don’t seem to have taken any photos, and lots were given as gifts at Christmas
