Long-process recipe

About 4 weeks from start to finish

It isn't made in one go. Start a batch: we keep the date you started, remind you at every step and you can add it to your phone's calendar.

Preserve safety

  • Fermentation: keep everything under the brine. White film can be skimmed off; if coloured or fuzzy mould or a bad smell appears, discard the batch.
  • Throw away jars that bulge, leak or spurt when opened. Botulism does not change smell, colour or taste: always follow a tested recipe and keep a preserve in the fridge once opened.
