Most Popular Pickling and Preserving Recipes

Posted by: pickleandpreserve

Tagged in: tips , pickle , jam , comment , chutney

As the pickle and preserve website has been going for over a year now I thought it would be interesting to see what the most popular recipes have been amongst visitors.

So here goes the top five in ascending order:

At number 5, and very apt for this time of year is Rhubarb Chutney.

At number 4, well worth making yourself,  Pickled Onions.

At number 3, lovely on toast, Rhubarb and Ginger Jam.

At number 2, a modern classic, Red Onion Marmalade.

And the surprise entry at number 1, the perfect accompaniment to the nations favorite dish, Lime Pickle.

With 7500 views between them that's an awful lot of jars of preserve.....

I came across a lovely story about a lady called Moira Starkey in the local paper today.

Moira has raised almost £7,000 for Breast Cancer Haven from a variety of methods including from selling jams and pickle.

Well done Moira that's an awful lot of preserving!

Jam Making Is On The Rise

Posted by: pickleandpreserve

It's not clear if this rise has been  sparked by the recession, or a renewed interest in the benefits of growing your own and living the good life.

Interesting that Lakeland have seen a large rise in the sales of the novice friendly Jam Making Machine, maybe a sign that  a new batch of consumers are wanting the satisfaction of home made preserves. I wonder if it gets good results?

It's also great to hear that soft fruit growers are reporting bumper crops, definitely something I've noticed with the gooseberries in the garden,  I shall be making use of them imminently.
