No Cook Apple Pickle

But you do need a food processor!

Ingredients

  • 700g cooking apples (Bramleys are ideal, peeled and cored)
  • 450g stoned dates
  • 450g red onions (peeled)
  • 450g soft brown sugar
  • 550ml malt vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

Process the onions, apples and dates in your mixer until finely chopped but don’t let it become a mush.

Mix your dried fruit, sugar, salt and spices together in a large bowl. Add the chopped fruits and onions into the bowl and mix well. Add the vinegar. Cover the bowl with a cloth and leave to sit for 24 hours.

After, then stir once more and pack into warm sterilised jars – this makes about 6 x 380ml (1 lb) jars. Make sure you pack the fruit mix in well, leaving no gaps and fill the jars to the top. Seal, label and put away in a dark cool cupboard for 2 months before eating.

Will last a year unopened. But refrigerate and use within 3 weeks once open.
