Makes 400g
1 ripe pineapple
200ml cider vinegar
350g caster sugar
2 star anise
1 piece preserved stem ginger in syrup, finely sliced
1 small red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
1 onion, very finely sliced
To sterilise the jam jar, place it in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and summer for 10-15 mins. Remove from water and leave upside down to dry
Top and tail the pineapple. Cut away the skin then cut out the spiny "eyes". Cut into rounds. Halve the rounds, remove the hard core from each piece, and then cut into small irregular shapes (you dont want it looking like the stuff you get from cans)
Put the vinegar and sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring every so often to help dissolve the sugar. Add the star anise, ginger and chilli ad simmer for another 10 mins and then add the onion, cook for another 10 minutes until the onion has softened and the mixture thickened.
Add the pineapple and simmer for another 10 mins, or until the juice is quite syrupy (it will thicken more as it cools) and the pineapple is tender. Transfer immediately to the hot sterilised jam jar and seal. Keep until needed. It will keep for about 6 months, but should be refrigerated once opened
Enjoy with pork chops or cooked ham. Or straight from the jar like I do!

:t:t:t:t:t dont know why its not working, but t's were clapping handsi've just been sent this and thought it was clever...so thought i'd share
the european commission has just announced an agreement whereby english will be the official language of the european union rather than german, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the british government c onceded that english spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "euro-english".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vordskontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking german like zey vunted in ze forst plas.0 -

Weren't they as appealing as the Smarties then
Smarties were not DTD. They were 32p ish as I recall.
I'm not against people hitting things at all, just trying to instill in people the idea of picking their bargains carefully as everytime we go to CS we raise out profile in a store. The greed issue was someone elses thread I believe.0 -

Banana economics: buy 942lb of fruit, give it away - and make pounds 25 profit
:eek::eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Mr Calcott was so convinced the two-week offer was ripe for the taking that he spent pounds 367.38 buying up 942lbs of Tesco bananas. Supermarket staff twice had to stack up a trolley seven feet high with bananas and wheel it outside to Mr Calcott's Peugeot 205.
