peter piper's ploughman's pickle

great with cheese, cold meats... in fact with most things!

to make 2 jars (use screw top lidded jam jars or similar)

120g carrots, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium turnip, diced
120g kohl rabi, diced (or white radish (daikon), or more carrot and turnip!)
3 garlic cloves, crushed
150g dark brown sugar
salt
30ml lemon juice
180ml cider/wine vinegar
1 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

  • Place all the above in a thick bottomed pan and simmer until turnips are just cooked but still crunchy - about 35 mins on a low simmer.
  • Meanwhile, sterilise the jars and lids by placing in boiling water for a few minutes, using tongs to  lift in and out.
  • Transfer the cooked pickle to the jars immediately while still at boiling temperature, leaving as little air gap as possible.
  • Screw the lids tightly closed.
  • NB should be refrigerated once opened.
