Sooooo, TG/Miss C, do you use standard pickling vinegars and spice packs, or do you use recipes handed down through generations like? I use to do my own many moons ago but that was using pickling spice that I use to get off Stockport market when I lived up that way. Any tried and tested recipes will be greaty appreciated

I always use gallon buckets of 'spiced' vinegar from the hobbit shop mentioned at the beginning of this thread. Otherwise, soak the little bastards in heavily salted water overnight beforehand and use malt vinegar.

To be exotic one may dump a load of pepper corns and dried chilli flakes into ones jars in order to make ones eyes water.

I am toying with the idea of making mustard this year. Anybody done this?

It's your round. Oh, and we stuck a few on your slate. I'm sure Barman will be asking you to come to the end of the bar to discuss it later  whistle:

Yep it's really easy especially with all the Asian shops in Leicester mustard seeds are really cheap in them.  You will need a few different flavoured vinegars.

There are loads of recipes on the interwebbly.  I to my shame have 2 recipe books for mustards. redface:

That time of year again though the little feckers are a bit late. Quality is high this year.

I am feeling a bit old.

A lot has happened to me since I started this thread but fortunately I have forgotten most of it.

Love to all.

We are making job lots of piccalilli.  Whilst doing some research Mr C came across this, not in the biblical sense you understand!

I think it is just brilliant.  Unfortunately this book will be taking me away from more important things this evening.
