V.V. impressed with top chef, quality cooking brothers. Afraid i'm limited to pizza dough, toppings and ... pickle
I confuse pickle with chutney so here is my recipe for green ( or red ) tomato chutney/pickle
loosely based on D. Smith's Complete Cookery Course book
2 1/2 lb green toms
1 lb apples
1 lb pears
1 lb plums
1 lb raisons
some damsons or other fruit lying around
1 lb 6oz soft dark sugar
loads of garlic
chopped up chili to taste
1oz pickling spice
1/2 tbs cayene pepper
2 dsp ground ginger
1/2 tbs salt
3 pints genuine malt vinegar
I doubled the quantities above
chop it all up, put in pan and simmer ooh so gently for a day
when it's cooked a wooden dragged across the surface will leave a channel for a few seconds
pour into hot jars and eat at Christmas!
easy peasy and makes a lovely smelly house
here's a pic of me caring for my tomatos and french beans

Fancy that: being able to grow tomatoes outdoors! It would never happen in Yorkshire

Recipe sounds fab--you really doubled it??
Enough for the Home Counties for several years, I would think.

forgot recipe should have lots of onions too! - yes did double it, it got bigger and bigger, ended up in three pans
