Best Branston Pickle Recipes
THE ALMOST ORIGINAL BRANSTON PICKLE RECIPE!
One of the best-known British commercialised pickles or relishes, is that of Branston Pickle, a spiced vegetable mixture - and a staple for all cheese sarnies (sandwiches) and ploughman's lunches! There are many generic brands on the market now, but this is the closest set of ingredients and the most authentic taste, compared with the Original Branston Pickle recipe! Branston Pickle is wonderful when added to curries and stews, and you MUST try it with toasted cheese or Welsh rarebit - delicious!

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring them to the boil.
- Then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the swede is cooked, but still remains firm, about 2 hours.
- Stir well to redistribute all of the vegetables.
- Bottle and seal in sterile and hot jars.
- Allow the pickle to age for a few weeks before using, this improves the taste and it will become more "mellow".
- Serve with cheese, ploughman's lunches, in sandwiches, with cold cuts and meats. This pickle is also wonderful when added to curries and stews.
BRANSTON PICKLE
Branston Pickle is a UK favourite that is served in pubs as part of a Ploughman's Lunch. Although this tangy vegetable pickle has lots of ingredients, it is worth the effort. Tastes great with cheeses.

BRANSTON PICKLE AND CHEESE SANDWICH
Soo good, I always got this at school, I will have to thank our chefs for this one. This only tastes good cold, so I wouldn't recommend trying to heat it up

BRANSTON PICKLE BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
This is a copycat of Boston Pizza's house dressing which is delicious!!!! They said theirs contained sun dried tomatoes but it sure looked and tasted like Branston to me. This is now my signature dressing and is delicious on any green salad or vegetable dish!

TUNA AND BRANSTON PICKLE MELT
Yes, I know that it sounds vile, but try it--it really is quite yummy. Everybody that I have made try it agrees with me! For all of you non-Brits out there..Branston Pickle is a combination of various vegetables in very small chunks pickled in a sweet brown sauce,usually served with salads, cold meats or in sandwiches. It's typically English, but is definitely available here in Australia, so may well be in the U.S. If you ever see it, I recommend you try it, it's good stuff!!

Steps:
- Add everything to large, heavy bottomed pan and bring to boil - then a high simmer for approx 1 hr 30 mins, skimming the scum off as it forms.
- Sterilise jars whilst waiting - I always wash in soapy water, rinse and dry, then put in oven on lowest setting for 30 mins or so.
- Decant pickle into jars - cool mixture into cool jars or warm mixture into warm jars. Label & leave for at least a month (I reckon) but better two months.
