Lozza's ludicrous but luscious Lime Pickle
Today I started the very first of my Lime Pickle nomness for Christmas.
This is not fast in time but very easy to do, as such I have decided to post this in a make along with me stylee. You will need to start.. Non metallic bowl/tub 6 Limes, all nicely washed to get rid of the crud and wax.. Lidl are currently doing 10 limes for £1 4 tablespoons of salt Firstly you need chop 4 of the limes each into 8 wedges and then chop the wedges in half cross section so you end up with 16 pieces from each lime.... do the math... that's 64 lime pieces  Pop them in your bowl/tub. The other two limes blast for 30 seconds in the microwave, roll on a chopping board and squeeze the juice out over the chopped limes. Chop the rind up into 1cm squares and chuck into the bowl too  Add the 4 tablespoons of salt.. ohh look it's snowing  Mix up well and cover with cling film  put to one side somewhere visible and check back here in 5 days when you will need: 1 Tablespoon of cumin seeds 1 Tablespoon of Mustard seeds Something to grind the above with (pestal & mortar or spice mill or old fashioned rolling pin and bag and bash the hell out of it) Large pinch of Turmeric Depending on your hotness.... 5 teaspoons of chilli powder You will also need a jar to store this in.. you can either buy a jar approx 400g size or you can start eating your way through that mayo in the fridge and use that jar! Part two Last edited by Lozza; 22-11-2009 at 21:57. |

I love limes but not a big fan of lime pickle. I think it has something to do with sweet and savoury/sour - can't eat Coronation chicken if it has sultanas in, or tuna with sweetcorn in either. Well, I can, but I choose not to! I don't know why I'm telling you this.

The real weirdo is the person who thought 'This chicken in a kind of curry mayonnaise is exquisite. Needs more sultanas, nuts and mango though...'. This isn't 'Come Dine With Me'; work out what foods go together!

Awesome. As long as I remember I am going to start this tonight. She bought a scoop of limes from the market for £1, which turned out to be nearly 40 limes. I have never drunk so many G&Ts in my life
So yeah, got a few spare and I'm going to give this a go. What's the next step? I take it there's sugar and vinegar and a bit of boiling coming up?
