I have a lot of melon recipes posted around the net on the days we made things with them.  This seems to be a good collection, I am hoping so.  I have to go back and work out which was the best from another place. 


Jam Melon Pickles

5kg melon
6 large onions
2 tablespoons mustard
1 tablespoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup sugar
8 cups vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
see below for modifications*

Cut up melon and onions, sprinkle with salt and stand overnight. In
the morning strain off all liquid, mix the dry ingredients with a little
vinegar, put into the pan, and stir till it boils. Then add the rest of
the vinegar, the melon and onions, and boil till tender.

Adapted from: P.W.M.U. Cookery Book 1982 edition. Ann Gemmell, Lothian.

The modifications are *an extra cup of sugar and 4 tabs flour added
10 minutes before the end after mixing it with a bit of the pickles in a
cup. We also used a handful of salt (1/2 cup) for the salting down
process, as per a recipe for melon chutney (posted).


Makes 16 jars.


Jam Melon & Apple Chutney

2.7kg jam/pie melons
800g apples
1.75kg onions
1.5kg sugar
4 cups vinegar
2 tablespoons salt
4 teaspoons ground ginger
3 teaspoons white pepper
2 teaspoons ground cloves
500g raisins

Chop melons finely, as well as onions and apples. Put 1 cup of
vinegar with mixture on low heat. In meantime finely chop raisins.

When starting to boil put in the sugar, the longer the sugar is in the darker the chutney.

After the sugar is well dissolved and the chutney is cooking add the raisins.

Wait until everything is well cooked. Add rest of the vinegar, simmer on low heat in two pans, until thick.

Will take about 2 hrs to get to correct thickness.

Takes a couple of months to ‘mature’ in flavour, should improve with keeping and store for two to three years.


This chutney my husband likes as he likes sweet things on cheese.]]> http://blogcopy.com/~simplylivingmodestly.blogspot.com?copy=indxet http://blogcopy.com/~simplylivingmodestly.blogspot.com?copy=1fq4iv6 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 05:49:58 +0000
Serves    4
Ingredients
500g of beef mince
1 x bunch of silverbeet – finely chopped
2 x large brown onions – finely chopped
2 x garlic cloves – finely chopped
2 x carrots – finely chopped
3 x tomatoes or 1 x can of tomatoes
1 x tablespoon of tomato paste
1 x teaspoon of ground coriander, cumin and smoked paprika
1/2 x teaspoon of cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste  ½ tsp sugar
1 cup rice (uncooked)

Method

1. Brown the onion in olive oil in a large, heavy based pot and let sweat. After a few minutes, add the garlic.
2. Once the onion is translucent, add the mince.
3. When the mince is cooked through, add all the spices, salt and pepper and stir through. Taste to make sure the balance of flavours is good.
4. Now, add the tomato paste, tomatoes and carrots and stir through. If you’re adding chickpeas, now’s the time to throw them in as well. Cover and turn down heat, leaving to simmer for 30 minutes.
5. Once the 30 minutes is up, open the lid, throw in your washed and chopped silverbeet and keep uncovered for another 5 minutes or so. Serve with brown rice (or white) and enjoy!]]> http://blogcopy.com/~simplylivingmodestly.blogspot.com?copy=1fq4iv6 http://blogcopy.com/~simplylivingmodestly.blogspot.com?copy=1fq4cyo Sun, 16 Jun 2013 04:40:42 +0000
