A-Z of Homemade Chutneys, Pickles and Relishes - Two Magpies Publishing
Introduction
Welcome to the wonderful world of chutneys, pickles and relishes.
As well as lots of classic recipes, this book is filled with tips and techniques on making the perfect preserve. What’s more, you don’t even need lots of equipment or a vast array of ingredients to get started. Making your own chutneys, pickles and relishes at home is very often cheaper than buying them - perfect for the thrifty home-chef. The cost of ingredients is low (especially if you grow them yourself), and by creating large batches, you can save a huge amount of money.
It is incredibly easy to make chutneys, pickles and relishes at home… Preserving vegetables by turning them into chutney, for example, involves cooking (to reduce the vegetables moisture content and to kill bacteria, yeasts, etc.), flavouring, the addition of vinegar, and sealing within an airtight jar (to prevent recontamination). Thats it! Pickles and relishes are largely similar, but generally involve the addition of vinegar and other spices to often uncooked (or partially cooked) vegetables, producing a slightly ‘chunkier’ result.
Pickling began 4000 years ago, using cucumbers native to India; the resultant product known as ‘achar.’ The technique was also used by the Romans, who made a concentrated fish pickle called ‘garum.’ Although these products arose out of necessity, people enjoyed the resultant flavours too! Chutneys are very similar in preparation and usage to a pickle, and they date back as far as 500 BC. Although also famous as an Indian dish, this method of preserving food actually originated in Northern Europe and was adopted by the British empire, who then started exporting food to the colonies including Australia and America. However, the combination of greater and more varied imports to Britain, as well as new abilities to refrigerate food, meant that chutneys fell out of favour and were relegated to military and colonial use. The British Royal Navy particularly utilised lime pickle/chutney to ward off scurvy on journeys to the new world. Consequently, it was around this time (about 1780) that chutney appeared as a popular appetizer dish in India.
The history of chutneys, pickles and relishes is thus inextricably tied with the history of exploitation and colonisation. British rule over the Indian subcontinent relied on preserved foodstuffs such as lime pickles, chutneys and marmalades. It was only in the nineteenth century that types of chutney such as ‘Major Grey’s’ or ‘Bengal Club’, specifically created for western tastes, were shipped back to Europe. The tradition of chutney, pickle and relish making then spread quickly through the English-speaking world, especially in the Caribbean and American South, where chutney is still a popular condiment for ham, pork, and fish. Relishes are particularly fashionable in America, with pickled cucumber the most widely available condiment. An especially notable relish is Gentleman’s Relish, invented in 1828 by Ben Elvin, which contains spiced Anchovy. It
