Lime Pickle

6 limes and a small lemon or lemonade (double quantities for more pickle!)

Cut up the lime & lemon/ade finely.

Put in to a bowl with a good rounded tsp of sea salt & let it sit while you're organising the other stuff.

Spices: 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander, 1/2 tsp fennel. 1/2 tsp fenugreek, 1/2 tsp whole grain mustard

Grind finely in a spice grinder (or mortar & pestle).

In a pot gently heat 2 tbsps of olive oil add 4/5 chopped whole onion weeds (or an onion & some garlic if you like). Wilt for onion weed, cook well for onion. Then add the spices & stir through for a few seconds.

Add: 1 tsp black cumin seeds, 1 tsp garam marsala, 1/2 tsp powdered turmeric (of fresh), 1/2 tsp ginger, a pinch of chilli flakes.

1/3 cup of raw sugar, 2 tbsp apple cider, white wine or white balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup of golden raisins- optional

Add the lime mixture and gently simmer for around half an hour stirring from time to time.

Amazingly it will all thicken up and turn in to pickle!

Pop the stick blender in to the cooled pickle if you like to make it smoother.

Spoon into sterilised jars.

Improves with age, but can be used immediately.
