Re: in case anyones interested!....Branston Pickle recipe
Having bottled my Branston I decided to puree some of it to thicken it up, as suggested by Sophia. I also added some cornflower to help thicken it a bit and added a bit more vinegar to tart it just a shade more. It now looks like the real thing and tastes pretty good.

I'm SO glad I found this recipe....glad it helped you guys as well!
Our first container is just about gone now!....my husband is addicted to 'branston'!
I thought about adding a little bit of cornflour as well,but,by the time I'd pureed a bit,I didn't think it needed it.Next time I make it I will definately use Granny Smith apples,and I will definately 'can' it properly...I have no doubt I'll be making more in the next week or so!
Hope everyone has a Great Thanksgiving!....Sophia (IL)

Re: in case anyones interested!....Branston Pickle recipe
Any ideas on pickled eggs? Just used to buy them in England but I want to make some. All the recipes add pickling spices and all sorts, some even add beetroot. Has anybody just made them with eggs and vinegar?
