Make Caramelised Onion Chutney

Posted in : Recipies

If pickled onions are not your thing, but you want to preserve some of your onion crop, a delicious caramelised onion chutney is a definite winner. It's easy to make, keeps for months if left somewhere cool and dark, and it tastes great whether mixed into gravy, eaten on the side with meat dishes, or with barbecued food.

Caramelised onion chutney and relish is now available in all the major supermarkets and many other stores, but homemade always tastes better and is much much cheaper.

Plant your Irish potatoes this fall or winter

Posted in : Web Pages

My family has made a practice of planting Irish potatoes in the fall rather than in the early spring. We tried it both ways for many years and our conclusions are that, season after season, fall planting seems to work better for us.

Here's an illustration: last spring we dutifully planted our potatoes in March, which is about as early as we can work the land successfully. We planted the spuds six inches deep, and then we waited.And waited. And waited.In April the first signs of growth appeared, and in the cool spring the plants grew, barely noticeably. When the really warm days of May arrived the potato plants put on a growth spurt that was truly gratifying.
