I have now found two recipes… as I have a lot of parsnips, I am going to do both… will we ever eat it all? Probably not!
Recipe 1
1 ¼ lbs cooked parsnips
1 lb peeled, cored, sliced, apples,
½ lb onions, chopped
½ lb tomatoes chopped
½ tsp dried ginger
1 tsp mustard seeds
2 ¼ cups cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup currants
1/ cup dates
¼ cup candied ginger finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 large pinch cayenne pepper
Recipe 2
1 lb. cooked parsnips, peeled, sliced and quartered if large
3 lb. firm bananas, not too ripe, sliced thinly
1 ½ pint white vinegar
1 lb white sugar
8 oz. currants or sultanas, washed and picked
1 rounded tbsp curry powder
1 level tbsp ground cinnamon
With both recipes you cook it all together until it reaches the right consistency! I shall let you know how I get on, wish me luck!
