Beetroots are indeed great. That batch produced a meal tonight, 6 meals in the freezer and 5 jars of pickled.
Cauliflowers are one of my favourites. The problem with them is that they all are ready at the same time. So we now have 12 cauliflowers, all ready to pick over the next 2 weeks before they go to seed. They don’t freeze well so need to be eaten. Jan has frozen one to try again and she’s making cauliflower rice which freezes very well.
Cauliflower cheese awaits.
Cauliflower also pickles extremely well.
Pickling is your friend 
Yes particularly in piccalilli. Jan make loads of that too.
My parents always pickled onions/shallots and cauliflower together.
one way I dont like beetroot that much.
I think if not cooked appropriately, cauli can have a somewhat astringent note, which I suspect is what some people dislike about it. Properly roasted, or confit or pickled seems to knock that on the head. Currying seems to achieve the same result too.
this is one of my favourite cauliflower recipes
That sounds right up my rue.
Piccalilli is teh shiznat
And not that watery shite they sell in Morrisons.
Jan’s homemade Piccalilli is the business. My Mango chutney is to die for.
Looks great Mick, dying to give that she’d a spot of shed preserver:wink:
you growing Mangoes in your garden?
I wish!
Yes it does need a coat. I put a new roof on it earlier this year.
That’s a good start, hopefully we are in for a spot of nice weather
Mr Crosse or Mr Blackwell ?
It’s nice to know the country’s going to be OK for chutney for a few months in the event of No Deal .

Does anyone have a recipe for green St Marzano chutney?
