Pickled
I love lime pickle. I didn’t always.
I used to think it was really (chilli) hot but I realise now it’s just the saltiness of it.
Almost every recipe I found seemed to want me to leave it standing on a sunny window sill for weeks but I’m not that patient. So, I was very excited to stumble upon a recipe in this lovely book by Diana Henry
Ironically enough, while the time to draw the liquid out of the limes is only a couple of weeks thanks to the mighty microwave & the airing cupboard, over a month has now passed because rather than draw the liquid out of the limes they’ve set in the salt (I fear too much microwaving; I enthusiastically doubled the recipe).
Anyhoo, panicking using this time wisely on research I think I can probably save the limes and end up more with a chutney than a pickle.
Its ts not a definitive recipe yet…that will come tomorrow. I’ll take these basics & see where my instinct takes me & hopefully it won’t be the bin!
Happy days
