Orange pickle -yes you read it right!

Orange Pickle- I know you’re surprised. I had never heard of such a thing before too – until I ended up experimenting with oranges today. I had bought some really cute oranges yesterday, but they turned out to be very sour – I’d have to add 3-4 tsp of sugar to their juice just to make it edible.

So an idea popped into my head – let’s try pickling them! And the result turned out to be so delicious – me and my husband ended up keeping aside the daal and veggies for dinner, and just had the pickle!

So next time when you get hold of sour oranges, you know what to do with them. And I’m sure you’ll love this recipe so much, for all you know, you might end up hunting for sour oranges next time!

    Looks lovely, I made carrot and orange pickle in the winter 2011 by chance. Ran out of lemons and was snowed in so decided oranges would do instead! Best sweet chilli pickle I made. My kids loved it. It was the start of my pickle business and jams I have fond memories of that winter I was snowed in and couldn't get hold of lemons.
