Red mixed pickle

This mixed pickle is made with a variety of vegetables left to mature for 2 weeks in diluted vinegar.

The result is similar to gherkins and can be added to lots of recipes, or eaten with a snack or sandwich.
This red version gets its name from beetroot and red cabbage, which eventually colour everything else in the jar.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Prepare your chosen vegetables: peel, rinse, dry and cut into julienne.

For the radish, I've opted for the black variety, easier to cut into sticks.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Put the beetroot julienne into a bowl, add a little fine salt and mix.

Leave at room temperature.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Do the same with the other vegetables...

Stage 4 - 1 hour

...each in a separate bowl.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Then drain the vegetables. Now you can mix them together.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Dry in a cloth.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Mix 900 ml white (spirit) vinegar and 300 ml water in a jug.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Choose your pickle jar and add 10 black peppercorns and 6 bayleaves.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Add the vegetables, and add 3 shallots finely sliced, if you wish.

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Top up with the vinegar mix. The vegetables must be completely covered. Then seal the lid.

Leave to stand for 2 weeks.

Stage 11

Your red mixed pickle is ready. The amazing purple-pink colour it started out with will gradually mellow to a duller brick red, but this will not affect the flavour.

Remarks

The recipe is very flexible, so you can adapt it to your taste: the choice of vegetables, their size, the proportion of vinegar to water, etc. Let your imagination get to work with whatever you have to hand.

Keeping

Months in a dark place.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
