Sooo I just realised I didn’t blog my preserving efforts from my annual sauce and jam day (usually done to coincide with Triple J’s Hottest 100) – more about what I make and why I make it here.
It was just me solo this year but I still put up enough tomato, barbecue, and chilli sauce, pickles, and strawberry jam for the year. Oh! and I made a batch of marrow chutney, made famous by Our Cath that year when she made some for the Queen as a Christmas gift. The recipe was handed down from her granny, which Pippa put in her Celebrate book. It was the first time I made it (I substituted zucchini) but it won’t be the last. Holy shit it’s good. Granny Middleton knew what was up.
So this year, I made:
+ Granny Middleton’s marrow chutney
+ Bread and butter pickles
marrow chutney and pickle recipe imminent! I’m also going to do a helluva batch of enchilada sauce and probably salsa next year, lord knows we go through enough of it.
