Easy,
1, Go to supermarket.
2, Buy Branston pickle.

Ok, ok, sorry, but it is just a commercial brown pickle-cum
chutney.
Get the fine cut grade for sandwiches, too lumpy otherwise!

Hi Mike; You are getting the benefit of this recipe having been tasted and
changed until it fit with a real Brits idea of Branston.... My Hubby. I
hate the stuff so I was no good at tasting.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Branston Type Pickle
Categories: Relishes, Pickles
Yield: 8 Servings

MMMMM--------------------MM BY HELEN PEAGRAM-------------------------
2 md Carrot, cut in
1/8 inch dice
2 c Rutabaga, cut in
1/8 Inch dice
4 md Cloves garlic, minced
16 Dates, pitted and cut in
1/8 inch dice
6 md Cauliflower florets, finely
Chopped
2 md Yellow onion, finely
Chopped
2 md Apple, finely chopped
2 md Zucchini, finely chopped
10 Sweet gherkins, finely
Chopped
1 1/2 lb Brown sugar
3 ts Salt
3 Lemons juiced
3 c Malt vinegar
Browning
3 ts Worcestershire sauce
2 ts Mustard seed
2 ts Allspice

I found this recipe in a magazine called "Britannia" published out of
Toronto. It was submitted by a Muriel Shaw from Rohnert Park,
California, formerly of County Durham, Ire

Combine all ingredients except caramel colouring in a saucepan,
placing spices in cheesecloth for easy removal later.

Heat to boiling; reduce heat to a simmer and cook until rutabaga is
cooked but still slightly crunchy. Add enough browning colouring
until colour is dark brown. Bottle and seal.

I suspect the flavour will improve if aged for a few weeks before
using.

Enjoy! Robin

We tried this recipe and altered it to fit our taste on Sept 9/96.
It is very close to the real thing! HMP
Altered the recipe again September/98 and is as close as you can get
now.

MMMMM

Second reply re Branston Pickle

This is a recipe which when matured tastes almost exactly like Branston
Pickle, so I'm told. Anyway the people who told me about it can hardly leave
it alone once made..... so here goes:

Pineapple Chutney

Matures after 3 months if you can wait that long

250ml (8fl oz) white wine vinegar
250gm (8oz) sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1½ tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 chillies (or to taste)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
250gm (8oz) diced fresh pineapple
2 Granny Smith apples (or equivalent, if in the colonies) peeled and cut
into pieces
90gm (3oz) raisins


Put the vinegar,sugar,salt,ginger,cinnamon,chillies and garlic in a saucepan
and bring to the boil. Add the pineapple, apples and raisins. Boil slowly,
stirring often, until the apple is broken up and the chutney is thick. The
pineapple will remain in pieces. Pour into warm jars and seal.

Hope it satisfies the Branston taste

See thee

Keith Riley
