Piccalilli Passion

I've always had a thing for piccalilli, actually I've always loved anything pickled....eating pickled onions straight from the jar probably has a lot to do with the stomach problems I put up with now!
Inspired by River Cottage & Pam-the jam-Corbin's recipe I battled all my pre-conceived ideas & thoughts of mustard yellow cauli, and flung everything possible into my first batch back in October. 
Such jewels!

Cauli (couldn't leave it out), purple sprouting broccoli,courgettes,
peppers, cucumber, tomato, radish, fennel salted & draining.


It's maturing nicely along side a batch of chilli-lilli made using some of my home-grown chillies.
I shall be tasting next week before our next Farmer's Market. If I can't speak you'll know it was a success!
