Pickles

The art of pickling has long been used to extend the life of fresh fruits and vegetables beyond their harvest season. We’ve selected the very best home-favourite pickles to make up a range so versatile no meal need ever go lonely. Indeed, in some regions, pickles are eaten with yoghurt and bread for breakfast. The sheer variety of pickles is dazzling due to the fact that many families still make their own at home. The traditional process is a simple one – an air-tight container is filled with a carefully balanced recipe of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices and left to marinate in the sun. Why not try it yourself? All you need is twenty consecutive days of sun …no problem….Typical spices used include mustard, asafoetida, chili, turmeric and fenugreek seeds.
