Whilst looking for something to use my unfortunate mistake with I came across this
http://www.vintagerecipes.net/books/domestic_cookery/mushrooms_4.php
looks interesting.
I don't like a lot of pickles the most adventurous I get is pickled red cabbage and that usually ends up going soggy.:oWoofles you need to get out of that house. You are going insane:eek: - colinw
apologises for spelling mistakes - google toolbar and I have had a hissy fit and I've lost me spell checker.0 -
There's loads you can do with it!
Pickled beetroot is very easy to do (top and tail beetroot, boil in water to soften, then remove skins, slice, and put in vinegar).
If you're feeling more adventurous then you could try making piccalilli? We followed the recipe on waitrose.com, and although we dont' like it we've had so many people asking us to make some for them! Be warned though, keep the windows open as boiling vinegar is a bit potent!
Pickling onions are cheap from the market - we got 5kg for £3, and we've got some nice kilner jars that we're going to fill with all sorts of pickles and jams to give as Xmas presents this year, so even if you don't like them you could get on Ebay (search Kilner Jars) and make a few little jars as gifts for people!0 -

I'm assuming you've broken the seal on the bottle so it's too late for my suggestion, but I also shop online with Sainsburys and if you ever in future find that you've accidentally bought the wrong thing, you can return it to a store for a refund, as long as you take the receipt, within a certain time limit. Details are on the Sainsbury's website (sorry, I would post a link but I have to dash now!). If it's a non-perishable item, it would be worth phoning the helpline and asking if you can return it to the driver when he brings your next delivery.0

Did an online shop with Sainsburys for the first time (I normally use Tesco) and have mistakenly bought a 1 lt jar of spiced pickling vinegar.:o
Have opened it and smelled it and it just smells like ordinary vinegar to me, the smell of which I'm not too fond of. Is there anything I can do with it apart from pickling. I do use vinegar as a descaler around taps, but that's just a dab or two on some cotton wool.
Its in a very nice tall glass jar, which will be a nice storage container eventually, if I ever live long enough to use it all up.
