Pickles, chutney and sauces – the life of a plate – delicious creations that turn an ordinary dish into an extraordinary dish. Pickles, chutneys and sauces are a great way to preserve excess produce, creating interesting bursts of flavour to add to meals. Whilst different in flavour, texture and appearance – pickles, chutneys and sauces are all primarily preserved by the action of vinegar (acid). The slow cooking, salt, sugar and spices also help to preserve them, giving a relatively long storage life (approximately a year), with the flavour improving over time.
