She'd seen them in the market for years but never bought one, the long white radishes called Daikon.
But recently a young friend gave her a jar of very crunchy bright yellow pickle, the yellow coming from turmeric.
She thought, I am not an idiot, I can make this, so off she trotted, her foot wasn't sore then, down to the market.
You need PURE rice vinegar, always check the ingredients of rice vinegar as a lot of them have very little vinegar and LOTS of water in them!
She gathered turmeric, both powder and root, homegrown bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, garlic, black pepper corns, filtered water, salt and sugar, plus the rice vinegar.
She cut the radish quite finely as per the example in the jar, put the ingredients, minus the radish, into a stainless steel pan and boiled the liquid for some time to get it infused with the spices and herbs.
Then added the radish to the liquid and poached it for about twenty minutes. Then tipped into a large glass bowl and left it to cool.
Before she went to bed, she put it into a tall Kilner jar and into chilly white larder.. aka the fridge.
She let it sit for two days before she tasted it. I thought that showed great restraint!
Yum, she thought, now that's another tasty thing to make for gifts, I'll add a piece of ginger root to it as well to add a bit of heat to the taste.
Yes, Christmas is a'coming folks, she'll soon be starting to make crystalised ginger that so many of her friends love and now she'll make the Yellow Daikon relish as well.
Gifts do not have to be expensive, more fool you if you think so or if your so-called friends expect expensive presents. You clearly know the wrong kind of people.
As she obviously did for a few years, as someone has accused her of being dishonest.. ouch! That's pretty 'rich' coming from a person whose life and behaviour is, what Bill would have described as 'decidedly suspect'.' ie dodgy!
But now she knows and that person is 'history'.
It's tea time! See what happens when she is under my feet all the time, I think of nothing but food, but then I know there are the most divine drop scones* in chilly white larder, made with a wonderful mix of ground up nuts instead of flour.. oh, slurp the durp with fresh almond butter.
Goodbye farewell.. yumyum hq is calling me.
GeeGee Parrot.
