Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
That is a really good idea and sounds like a keeper. I usually add a few chilli flakes to chutneys and one day I must have gone overboard with the 'few' in fact I must have put in two lots of 'few' when I tasted it I said 'Good grief, this is as hot as hell' when I came to look at the labels that my hubs had put on the jars, there it was 'As hot as hell, rhubarb chutney' Now I have to make it all the time as people seem to prefer the hot as hell to the norm.Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys

Hi Cookiecate, i made piccalli 3 weeks ago, just had some today, & its far better than shop bought, you will make it a success, i am sure,Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
I would love to get hold of your rhubarb the stuff in the shops makes the jam a greeny muddy colour where as home grown is a lovely pink. Of course I will give you my recipe.Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
Thank you Cookiecate for that reciepe, i made it , & you are so right , i love it, & it took all the rhubarb we had left in garden,i did one thing to it , i greated the rine'd of a lemon into it,then used the lemon to sqeeze into the jam, its yummy, thank you againRe: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
Thrilled that you like it too. The jam is easy to make but tastes awesome. It is one of our best sellers on the market. Trouble is getting hold of a goodly amount of rhubarb, lucky to find it frozen in Asda so I shall still be able to make it during the winter months.Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
Had homemade elderflower & rosehip jelly last night on water biscuits and chunks of cheese The jelly was superb but its made by my landladys mother and she wont reveal the recipe lol I bet if I made it i'd notice a missing secret ingredient!! Its really nice in a bolognese style meat with the jelly in and some Scotch bonnet and the jelly gives is a strange sweetness but the afterkick then takes over!! Unlike a very strong curry it doesn't get so hot that your nostrils burn! Its just so nice and not the sort of thing i'd generally bother making.
