Branston Pickle

Ingredients

1 medium carrot, cut into 1/8 inch cubes
1 cup rutabaga, cut into 1/8 inch cubes
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 dates, pitted and cut into 1/8 inch cubes
3 cauliflower florets, finely chopped
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 medium apple, finely chopped
1 medium zucchini, finely chopped
5 sweet gherkins, finely chopped
1/2 pound dark brown sugar
1 tsp salt
juice of a lemon
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
caramel colouring or Kitchen Bouquet

Instructions

Combine all ingredients except caramel colouring in a saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to a simmer and cook until rutabaga is cooked but still slightly crunchy. Add enough caramel colouring until colour is dark brown. Bottle and seal. I suspect the flavour will improve if aged for a few weeks before using.
