Easy Apple Pickle is a crunchy sweet and sour pickle that, surprisingly, is not cooked at all.  It’s the perfect accompaniment to cheeses and cold meats and is a long time favourite in my kitchen.

    Still getting used to your jargon. Could this be called a chutney?

    Judy – It is a sort of a chutney, but I would consider chutney to be something cooked and pickle is something uncooked but preserved in vinegar. You do use them in the same way though.

    Karen – that makes me feel even older and I KNOW I am not as old as your mum!

    I had forgotten all about home & freezer digest, my mum used to read it. If I remember rightly they were useful and practical. Must look out for some at junk shops to rediscover more childhood recipes (and chores)!

    I really need to learn how to do preserves. For some reason it is something that has passed me by but I am getting itchy to learn.
