We have been away visiting grandchildren in Canberra, our nation's capital, and I have just caught up again with the site.
Here is a recipe for Marrow Pickle.
Peel, seed and cut marrow into cubes.
Put in layers on a dish, sprinkling salt between layers.
Treat a pound of small pickling onions the same way.
Leave o'night.
Drain well.
Put 1/2 lb sugar, 1 ounce ground turmeric, 1/4 ounce chilli pods and three quarts vinegar in a large saucepan and simmer half an hour.
Add marrow and onions.
Simmer till thick.
Put in jars and seal.
