BEST EVER SWEET PICKLES
I pack away homegrown cucumbers every summer. This recipe is based on the pickled veggies in Brown Eggs and Jam Jars by Aimee Wimbush-Bourque, but I've made it less mustardy and more garlicky to fit my family's tastes. This method keeps them incredibly, refreshingly crunchy. -Ellie Martin Cliffe, Taste of Home Digital Deputy Editor

SWEET PICKLED DAMSONS
Season: Late August to September. Dark-skinned with a bluish bloom, small oval damson plums are very tart and well flavored, which makes them wonderful for preserving. This is a straightforward recipe that keeps the fruit whole and tender. I love warming cinnamon and allspice in the mix, but you can use any spices you fancy, or even a good tablespoonful of ready-made pickling spice (see p. 89). These sweet spiced damsons are a lovely addition to any buffet table and splendid with cold poultry.

Steps:
- Put the vinegar, cinnamon, allspice berries, and orange juice and zest into a pan and bring to a boil. Boil for 4 to 5 minutes, then strain and allow to cool.
- Prick each plum with a needle or skewer (this will prevent them from splitting). Add the fruit to the cool spiced vinegar in a clean pan. Bring slowly to a simmer, then simmer very, very gently for 10 to 15 minutes, until the plums are just tender. Using a slotted spoon, lift out the plums and pack them into warm, sterilized jars (see p. 21).
- Return the spiced vinegar to the heat, add the sugar, and stir until dissolved. Boil for several minutes to reduce and thicken. Pour this hot spiced syrup over the plums and seal immediately with vinegar-proof lids (see p. 22). Store in a cool, dark place. These pickled damsons are best kept for 6 to 8 weeks before eating. Use within 1 year.
- You can use the same method to pickle firm cherries or green gooseberries. Rhubarb, cut into 2-inch chunks, can also be dealt with in this way - but add the sugar with the rhubarb, as it will help keep it whole.

Steps:
- Wash the fruit, then tip into a preserving pan with the lemon juice and 300ml/1⁄2 pint water. Bring slowly to the boil, and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the fruit is soft.
- Carefully pour the contents of the pan into a scalded jelly bag with a large bowl set underneath to catch the juice (see the Step-by-step photo). Leave for several hours.
- Measure the juice back into the pan, then add 500g of sugar to every 500ml of juice or 1lb sugar for every pint of juice. Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved, then raise the heat and rapidly boil until setting point is reached. Test this by spooning a little on to a chilled saucer. Cool slightly then push with your finger - if it wrinkles it is ready. If not return to the heat, boil for 5 more minutes and test again.
- Pot into warm sterilised jars and cool before sealing. Can be eaten straight away, but keeps for up to a year.
