I pickled some beetroot today 
Looked like something out of psycho standing in the kitchen with my red hands brandishing a sharp knife...
Don't know what to pickle next. Anyone done pickled eggs? Only ever had one on a drunken pub crawl as one of the 'dares' so I can't say whether I even like them!
I even used my white vinegar which was meant for the laundry - oops!
I may try carrots or nectarines next. Yes you can pickle fruit! :rolleyes:

Ooh, I made loads of this about 3 weeks ago!
4 lbs Diced green tomatoes
1 lb Diced apples (I like granny smiths for this recipe)
8 oz Raisins
1 1/4 lb Diced onion
2 tsp Salt
1 lb Sugar
1 Pint Vinegar
2 Chillis. Chopped
1 Inch piece of ginger, grated
Put all the above ingredients into a large heavy pan, bring to boil. Stir well. Simmer until thickened (take just over an hour). Pour into warm sterilised jars. This quantity makes 4 - 5 medium jars.I have the mind of a criminal genius. I keep it in the freezer next to Mother....0 -

Do you add fresh or dried? I have loads of dried chillis and I love my pickled onions to blow your head off "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
