I put the girl Alpacas to work this morning, thought it was time they earned there keep
Using hurdles I closed off the area around the poly tunnel and made a chase run from there field, they can now take down all the grass for me, they went through without hesitation.
Radishes I had about 10 left that needed using up, the next crop are coming on great, I used the radishes up this morning in a really easy recipe
Radish and Carrot Sweet Chutney
- 1 cup Grated radish
- 1/2 cup Grated carrots
- 1.5 cups Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Red chili flakes, if you like more heat add more and less then half the qty
- 2 Cloves of garlic, finely chopped or grated
- 2 tablespoons Corn Flour
- 1 teaspoon White distilled vinegar
- 1tablespoon of cumin seeds
Mix the cornflour with the water, Add all the ingredients to a saucepan stir in the cornflour over a medium heat, stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and it has all thickened up.
Pour into sterilised jars will keep up to a year
Very tangy a bit like sweet and sour with a bit of a kick
Sounds like a great way to make so peppy pickle and to use your radishes! I imagine that you have already eaten a lot! I hope that you have a great weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteHubby had a bit of a feast on the relish last night using it as a dip :-)
DeleteI never have any radish to spare, I am a bit greedy and eat them like a child with sweets. I do have a few sowings that are playing catch up so will try to make this before i start chomping away at them.
ReplyDeleteyou only need a hadful :-)
DeleteGood way to use your alpacas, I do the same with chickens. Does the wool make them worth keeping?
ReplyDeleteThe fleece does make them worth keeping, the fleece is worth more than sheep fleece :-)
DeleteI had radishes that need using up, might have a go, the hard thing is stopping hubby eating before it has matured.
ReplyDeleteThis dosent need maturing ready as soon as it is cool :-)
DeleteThanks for the recipe, I think we will also have a glut of radishes soon. :-)
ReplyDeletethey turn woody so quickly when the weather warms up :-)
DeleteI like the sound of this recipe!! Hopefully I will have some radishes in my veg box soon.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds great! :)
ReplyDeleteWe can only grow an early crop of radish because they tend to bolt once it gets hot. But I shall keep that recipe for future use.
