I love beetroot. I like the herbs you add to your brine. I usually use fennel and, umm...I can't remember and either white wine or apple cider vinegar. Next time, I must try this flavour combination.
BTW, perhaps you might like to participate in @simplymike's monthly garden journal? I keep meaning to....
Our peas are coming. The broad beans - we are a little uncertain. We shall see...
I have made this with white wine vinegar before and it's just as nice, funny I was looking at my fennel and wondering how it would taste if I left out the cinnamon bark and replaced it with fennel?
And of course it's a brine not a sauce, must be the grey hairs;);)
Thank you for the tip, will look out for that monthly garden journal. We have to keep those pesky monkeys out!
The Covid figures are not looking good here in SA, our local Checkers closed theur doors today as a staff member tested positive, fortunately we shop at PnP but it could really happen anywhere! Not looking good.
Take care of yourself, but I really think it's much safer in the smaller towns.
Hosting guests used to be such a pleasure, now it's a different story with having to take their temperature on arrival all masked up and avoiding personal contact!
Lizelle, here is a link to my pickle recipe which includes the brine I use - mainly because I often make too much.
I have snoozed our listing for The Little Room and am not sure when we will host another Sunday Supper. Because it means strangers in our home and private space. For the rest, I manage self-catering places so we have key safes and will have no contact with guests. Makes things a lot easier. I hope, anyway.
Our village police station was closed for deep cleaning two days ago. Some members live in Robertson where there are lots of cases. Some families here have quarantined. However, as at yesterday, no confirmed cases here. Long may it last.
We resume the market on Saturday. We shall see.
Thank you so much for the link to your recipe.
It's really terrible how this virus has changed our lives! I do hope that things stay like that in your village and that your Saturday market indeed takes place:)
