Plum surgery

No-one much likes plum jam and we can't sell them or give them away because everyone has a glut. So what I'm doing at the moment is making gallons - well, litres - of plum relish which one of my daughters nags me for year after year. Apparently it goes well with spare ribs of pork. If anyone is interested in the recipe I'll post it here. Yes please  Ok, here you a 1 lb. plums quarter pint vinegar 6 oz. soft brown sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 small onions 6 crushed peppercorns 1 chilli pod 3 cloves half tsp. mixed spice Bring slowly to the boil, cook gently for half an hour. Leave until cold. Remove onions and sieve. Boil for a further five minutes and then bottle. That is the recipe as given to me several years ago but I have modified it somewhat for our own taste. In particular I find it's necessary to reduce it in the final boiling otherwise the consistency is too thin. Also I liquidise before passing through a sieve. Good luck! Thank you very much, David ) |
