Thanks barbs would love the cucumber pickle recipe. Cocktail onions are best for the recipe but I have also made it with sliced onions before which turned out very well. Cheers G

Brilliant Brilliant recipe. Plenty plenty compliments were received. My onions were larger than a teaspoon and took ages to cook and the sauce was evaporating rather quickly. Found a recipe same ingredients as yours in a larger quanity except for the addition of cayenne pepper. I have the cucumber pickle recipe if you are interested.

That sounds great, love to try all sorts.. I agree, trifle must have that little bite. 1/3 cup or a nice little mound on your palm, a little either side is no train smash. Cheers for now G

Thanks G. We had cold lunch at the farm last year with plenty of pickles. I will search through my files and send you some to try out There was one particular one with carrots which went down well. Trifle can be without alcohol but what is a trifle without it? I am doing all the puddings/ice cream and trifle. Also doing your Casatta.
Oh 75g of raisins approx 1/3 cup?

Hi barbara, will keep for a while, never really lasts long around me… I would say a few weeks at least. I am trying all sorts of things at the moment with jams and pickles so hang in there, Cold Christmas lunch for me too… Trifle I have somewhere but have not made for ages, will look it up. Alcohol or Not in the trifle? Cheers G
