I am in heaven and MOS will roll her eyes because its ...............

BEETROOT 

I just want to gaze at that pan with love in my eyes. Hubby thinks i am mad but i want to be buried with my chutney pan and spoon firmly at my side.

My son said to me last week mum when you die do you want flowers or beetroot planted on your grave 

Silly boy what does he think? my name aint flower queen 

[Beetroot queen]

Seven lovely jars of beetroot chutney, oh i cant wait.

I am NOT sharing a bit. Well maybe Grannie's Brian can have a spoon seen as he appreciates the finer things in life.

Some people like caviar some people just like beetrot 

Seven jars of beetroot sat all in a line.

I'm the only one who likes chutney in our house so I am still working my way through the batch of pear chutney I made in November 2011! It gets better and better though with age so that I wish I hadn't given so much away so I would hang onto your seven jars!

I do usually give away loads but not this lot they are all mine. Even hubby can keep his mitts off.
I like the sound of the pear is it in the recipe section on here.
We eat a heck of a lot of chutney and my beautiful cupboard shelves are straining under the weight. It wont stop me, there is always a new one to try.

Favourites in the house seem to be
Beetroot
Apple
Marrow and apricot
Rhubarb
Runner bean

Hubby inhales pickled red cabbage a jar at a time. Luckily i have 50 jars still from last year. And my red cabbage have just come up so happy days.

I'll have to dig out the recipe - we had a bumper crop of conference that wouldn't ripen so it was a good way to use them up.
Runner bean chutney eh? Mmmm

Yorkie i cant get pics on here off my blackberry, i can email direct if people want to see my lovely filled jars

Make it my first batch and now i am onto onion marmalade, not my onions i am afraid but the thyme is mine. Thats twice in a day i have used my herb bed in. Its never used normally. 

[Yorkie]

Mmmmm, onion marmalade, mmmmm 

[Mrs Bee]

Oh I am right with you about the beetroot chutney. Love it. I make  four different types and usually hide my jars in a secret place!!! With tomato and chilli, chunky. with orange and with ginger.

Luckily only OH and I are chutney eaters and I don't have to fight my son for them. (He loves the chilli jam so I have to hide those),

and OH prefers the piccallilli!

The onion marmalade with the thyme sounds good, may have a bash at that one. I do one with sage to go with chicken and pork, a tomato and chilli one, and one with onion seeds and cracked black pepper as well as the plain.
I am going to try and do a red onion with red wine and one with mustard and mustard seeds as soon as I get my next spare moment.

[Beetroot queen]

Make sure you post the reipes.

Vals rhubarb and ginger in one
And beetroot in the other.
