Not many people like Lime Pickle, the hot stuff you get with your Popaddoms at the Indian, but I do and thought I might have a go at making my own.
But I don't even know where to start.

Most of the recipes seem to involve leaving in the sun for several days, so that might be hard at the moment

1 tsp garam masala
2 tsp paprika

Day 1.
Pierce limes at stalk end once. Put in pan of boiling water, add bicarb and simmer for 30 minutes. Test if skins are tender. Drain and cut up into small pieces. Put 1 pint of vinegar, the salt and sugar into pan and bring to the boil. Add limes and cook for 10 minutes. Put in non metal bowl and leave to stand overnight.
Day 2
Mix garlic and spices into a paste with some of the remaining vinegar.
Boil half pint of oil. Remove from heat for 3 minutes and add spice paste. Stir over heat until spice oil comes to the surface. Add limes and rest of vinegar and heat until vinegar disappears. Cool slightly.
Boil remaining oil. Put pickle in warm jars and top with hot oil. Leave for at least 1 month. It will keep indefinately.

Thats way to much oil for my liking guess I will just leave it as a treat when I go for a Ruby.

But thanks anyway
