People assume that because one is old that time is not an issue. The trouble is, when you are as old as I am, everything simply takes so much longer to do! I can assure you, Nana’s brain moves just as quickly as ever, but my poor old limbs just don’t seem to follow, so a recipe that is reasonably quick to prepare is a boon for me. Most pickles and chutneys take the best part of a day to make and three months to mature. To speed things along, I’m making a batch of sweet and tangy bread and butter pickles. They are as delicious as a relish, but are ready in 24 hours.
