What's your regular favourite sauce or pickle you've made yourself?

Few of mine are -

Cucumber pickle - cannot get enough of it
Red Onion Marmalade
Chilli Jam
Spicy Ketchup

Would I be able to get a recipe for the red onion marmalade and the spicy ketchup? Thanks

Beetroot chutney (I could it eat straight from the jar on a spoon)
Courgette relish.

I'm going to lift all my beetroot and make a huge batch of chutney this weekend

Has anyone got a recipe for chilli chutney? I bought a really delicious one in McCambridge's of Galway which is running out and I'd love to know how to make it.....divine with some nice Durrus or Gubbeen......nyomnyomnyomnyom

I love the courgette relish and the courgette pickle that I make myself and this year I've made a tomato and chilli jam.

The jam worked out great with the first batch that I made but then I decided to quadruple the recipe the second time. I was short a lemon so the jam didn't set enough so I have a sauce rather than a jam but still yummy.

I made Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Courgett "Glutney" a month or two ago and it turned out fabulous - it's the 3rd recipe down on this page:

I use your recipe for courgette relish - it's amazing. I always add extra cornflour than the amount given in order to make it thick enough.

Red Onion Marmalade
10 Red Onions
150g Brown Sugar
30g Butter
200ml Red Wine Vinegar
75ml Red Wine

1. Dice Red Onions roughly. Melt the butter in a pan, add the Onions and Brown Sugar, saute for 5 min.

2. Add in Vinegar & Wine, simmer until a marmalade consistence and most of the liquid has evaporated.

3. Season and transfer into steralised jars, makes 3 to 4 jars.

It makes a few of these tubs...



Chilli Jam
2 Chillies
10 Tomatoes
300g dark sugar
75ml Red Wine Vinegar
Dash of Balsamic Vinegar
Fresh Ginger & Garlic - 2 cloves / thumb

1. Depending on consistence you would like you can blend tomatoes until a smooth paste or not so smooth...

2. Add chillies / Ginger / Garlic (chopped finely)

3. Add all to a pot and heat up slowly adding sugar and vinegars

4. Bring to boil then simmer until its reduced by about half, 30 min should do it or so stirring every so often and depending on consistency you want cook for a bit longer....

Spoon into steralised jars and cap before cool to get a good seal!

It'll give you a few small jars
