Bramley sauce

Had to severely prune a big old apple tree last week so came away with a bucket load of apples.

Did this with them,

2lb apples,
8oz onions,
2oz dried tamarinds(take all the seeds out)

Good splosh each of,

Ground cinamon, mixed spice & salt.

One dried paprika,

12oz sugar,
3/4 pint of vinegar.

Boiled all up & stirred till sugar disolved then simmered for half an hour & pureéd with a hand wizzer.

Sterilised some plastic sauce bottles with baby sterilising tablets & put em in the fridge when cool.

Tastes great now, will have to resist it till it matures.

 

Sounds lovely =] reminded me of the most amazingly tasty apple I had the other day which I was given as a left over from the botanic gardens apple days event (can't remember what variety it was), it was a bit bigger then a tennis ball and a muddy yellow/red colour and tasted crisp and tangy like a granny smith very yummy!!

 

We went to apple day in bridport on saturday, some amazing varieties there, including on with pink flesh.

I just used a whole dried paprika imported from turkey Marley.

Just had some on toast, lovely.

 

Sorry for delay Marley, been up to Aldershot & back.

To be honest i wish i'd put a bit more paprika in, not as hot as i'd hoped.

Have envelope with 3 dried ones in which i will post tommorow. Don't tell me your address, i just want to see if I can get them to you.:thumb:

 

Could only afford second class so I guess it will take a week or so.

 

Have just tweaked last weeks recipe by doing the same again but adding an extra dried paprika, 2 fresh home grown chillis & 2 small beetroot for the colour.

NOW WE TALKING HOT SAUCE !!! OH YES :thumb::yho:

 

Like the idea of your recipe but I would worry about storing it that way for long term use.

Maybe you use a lot and don't need it for long term.

I have only used the kind of jars (Kilner or otherwise) that the lids go concave to show that there is a proper vacuum inside, plastic sauce bottles surely would be for short term/immediate use?

 

That sounds a good idea Marley. Have you seen the vicar yet, is he cooking anything spicey :hehe:

The plastic bottles went straight in the fridge Dag, & yes, with 2 kids we get thru a lot of sauce.

 

I put 2 whole "de cayenne" chillis in mine, chopped em up seeds and all.

Don't do what I did, make sure you scrub your hands before using the loo :cry:
