Morning all,

Gale force winds here too - VERY wet and windy !!

Sylvias porridge went down 'a treat' (thank you Sylvs!)

I put a big blob of your lovely homemade Strawberry jam in it and swirled it all round - extra specially yummy !

Anyone got a really nice "Beetroot Chutney"recipe please?

And a Runner Bean one?

Runner bean chutney?



Edit.....google it! Or.....ask our Janey, she has a recipe for just about everything!

I am sure there was something on the "Edible Garden" programme about preserving runner beans, but did'nt take much notice as mine died

ja...x

Copied from the Net after Googling "Beetroot Chutney":

Ingredients:

4 lb (1.8 kg) beetroot
1 large onion
1 lb (450 g) raisins
1 teaspoon salt
½ lb (225 g) white sugar
1 pint (570 ml) white vinegar
6 peppercorns
6 cloves
1 tablespoon allspice
Method:

Wash the beetroot carefully without rubbing the skin and cook gently in a large pan, covering the beetroot with water, until tender.
Allow to cool, rub off the skins and dice into cubes.
Peel and chop the onion.
Put all of the ingredients into a large, heavy based pan, tying the peppercorns and cloves in muslin.
Bring to the boil very slowly and then simmer gently until cooked and thick.
Remove the muslin bag and pour into hot, clean, sterilized jars. Seal at once.
Label with contents when fully cooled.
Makes about 5 lbs (2.3 kg) of Beetroot Chutney.

Why do fridges trump? Mine makes the strangest noises from time to time

Or maybe I have an additional fridge monster along with the boys that is

I'd still like to know what you want to do with your runner beans Fans?? Why can't you just preserve your beetroot in the normal way? Says she who hates cooking......:))


Evenin' Renes. I couldn't get online this morning and was getting crotchety.......you must have been very frustrated last night. Hope you had a good book to read.

Trump as in f#t?

My ..I havent heard that word used for F##t in about 4 yrs since my old friend of 86 moved back to his birth place of Derbyshire and croaked it within 2yrs..

Runner bean chutney is mothers favourite so I need to get some made for her for christmas,cheap and cheerful me,but she always turns her nose up at anything I get her so thought I would give it a go.

And I like pickled beetroot it is true,but I LOVE beetroot chutney and have you seen the price of it in the shops?
Di-gusting price it is ,and too pricey when you eats it spread as thick as the slice of bread your having it on.

Well....I is a lady and there are other ladies present

Fluffed....dropped one...blow off...silent but violent

YOU know what I mean and my fridge does it

And....runner bean chutney is all wrong. What's the matter with you Fanny
