About this deal

It's happened to all of us. You open the fridge to get some veggies for dinner and find a crisper full of carrots, cucumbers and zucchinis that need to be eaten.

Pickle, and How Do You Make Pickles? - Taste of Home What Is a Pickle, and How Do You Make Pickles? - Taste of Home

All of our fields are ringed by strips of uncultivated land, which are rich in wild flora and fauna, and encourage biodiversity. We use our own reservoir for irrigating our crops and renewable energy is used to help run our onions stores, with over 400kw of solar panels installed over the farm. Vegetables of choice (1-2 carrots or cucumbers, or 1 large beetroot, or 2 cups of green beans, cauliflower florets or corn) Lactic acid fermentation is a common way of preserving vegetables, such as cabbage," Ms McLeod says. "The raw vegetable is sliced and then salt is added. The salt takes liquid from the vegetable which allows the growth of lactic acid bacteria.As dietitian Chloe McLeod explains, the resulting product is a fermented food (such as sauerkraut and kombucha) with probiotics and enzymes. Like most people, you probably feel a pang of guilt when those vegetables end up in the trash at the end of the week. Mix 1kg of fresh berries with 30g of salt in a large lidded glass jar, and lay clingfilm over the top of the produce, pressing it down with a small weight. Then put the lid on, loosely. Leave at room temperature (18-22C) for 15 to 30 days. Taste after 15 days, and decide if you want to take the funky flavour further. Infusions and aromatics will embellish the basic idea, from Nigel Slater’s plum with almonds and rosewater to Lillie O’Brien’s fig and earl grey tea. And roasting your fruit – as Anna Jones does plums – will enhance its built-in sweetness. Some fruit – grapes, say – are sweet enough to need no added sugar. Of course, the sugar being the preservative, the less you use, the shorter the lifespan of your product. Use Freezer-Safe Containers – Make sure you get jars that are safe to put in the freezer. You may find that some glass or plastic jars are not suitable for freezing and will shatter. If you are struggling, you could get some liquid safe freezer bags instead.

Mash 900g fresh or frozen berries in a wide, stainless-steel saucepan and cook for three to four minutes over a medium heat until the juice begins to run. Add 900g warmed sugar and stir over a gentle heat until dissolved. Bring to the boil and cook for about five to six minutes, stirring frequently. Test for set by putting about a teaspoonful on a cold plate and leaving it for a few minutes in the fridge. If it wrinkles when you press it, it is set. Remove from the heat immediately. Skim, pour into sterilised jam jars and cover immediately. Kimchi is another wildly adaptable cabbage-based ferment. Koreanbapsang.com’s Hyosun Ro has over 20 different recipes, from easy to vegan to trad. Food52, meanwhile, has an excellent how-to for making any kind of kimchi without a recipe. It is a world unto its own, so do read up.

The rich sandy soils of the Greensand Ridge are ideal for onion and shallot growing and we have been growing onions for 30 years on these pastures. We are passionate about supplying great tasting onions and shallots in the most sustainable way and take great care of the land that we farm on. Instead, fermenting is a process where the bacteria or yeast in a food converts the sugars and starches present into an acid or alcohol. This is called lactic acid (or lacto-) fermentation. The lactic acid helps inhibit the growth of dangerous bacteria, preserves the food and gives it a tangy flavour. Prepare the jars and lids by washing them with soap and hot water (alternatively, run through hot dishwasher cycle) and allow them to air-dry upside down on a baking tray lined with paper towel or a clean tea towel.
