When I made it the sauce was quite runny after I simmered it for a minute. Is that normal does it set in the jar. Also what brands of curry and mustard powder do you use and did you use white sugar? There is something very comforting about pickles.

I've just made a batch and instead of boiling the veg, I zapped them in the microwave for a few minutes until they were done to my liking. I like to retain a bit of crunch. It saves heaps of time, power and stops all those nutrients being drained away with the cooking water.<br />Thanks again, it's definitely a keeper.

I can't claim it was made with produce from our garden, but I got a good deal on all the fresh ingredients, and there is enough to last a year, if I'm not too greedy! I've just finished the last of last year's batch, so I know that's how long it should last for. I just love it and use it in cooking (for sweet/sour type things) as well as a condiment. I might just try some of your recipes, too Rhonda, although I have to make these things when my husband is out, as he hates the vinegar smell!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-77547267705004002862012-10-08T15:02:42.156+10:002012-10-08T15:02:42.156+10:00YUM!
