I WILL NOT make any excuses for a lengthy video this time-there is quite a lot of work involved in replicating this iconic pickle to do it justice. There is NO other video making this pickle using the ingredients listed on the jar-all the different videos are willy-nilly put together without consideration of the ingredients given. This will help those like me who cannot buy this pickle WORLDWIDE.

Many years ago I was given this recipe. This was the recipe prior to Cross and Blackwell acquiring the pickle. I think Heinz own it now. This is just for comparison. 285g of Brown Sugar 2 tablespoons of Molasses1 teaspoon of Salt 1 lemon 375ml of Vinegar 3 Tomatoes 2 teaspoons of Mustard Seeds 2 teaspoons of Ground Allspice 1 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper 1 Medium Swede Diced 4 Cloves of Garlic Finely Chopped 85g Dates cut into small pieces 1/4 of a Cauliflower cut into small pieces 1 Onion Diced 1 Granny Smith Apple Diced 1 Courgette Diced 1 large or 2 small Carrots Diced Extra liquid and seasoning if Required 1/2 a cup of Malt Vinegar Salt to taste 2 teaspoons of Cornflour 1/4 cup of Water

The dark colour of the veg is because it is steam cooked first, then, a sugar salt and caramel solution is circulated warm for 2 and a half hours! All the rest of the ingredients are for the sauce, which was made separately. You missed small silver skin onions. How do I know? I worked at the pickle factory in east London for 14 years! It was owned by Nestle’s then, but when they closed the factory in the mid 80’s, it was made in Scotland for a while, then nestle’s sold off the cross and Blackwell brand. The pickle today is slightly different from what was made then, but I still love it. Full marks for having a go at reproducing it!

Brilliant, Rick. I thank you deeply for being different !! You teach as you're cooking. I like the way you explain the reasons for what you are doing. Branston pickle ( my wife"s family lived only a couple of miles from the branston factory ), seen it and smelled it for years and years. It is iconic to me, but what you have done here is unique imo. My wife and I moved to Australia for a while (22years ago) and have converted many friends to Branston Pickle and to see how you've used your pro skills to disect how the process works is excellent. After 74 years of life it's still good to learn about things we take for granted. Thanks for a great video Rick and well done my friend.

I have never heard of this dish. I only know "mixed pickles". So - thanks for showing. In Germany, however, rutabagas do not have a good reputation due to historical reasons. From Wiki: "Since rutabagas were unpopular among the population despite the poor food situation, the Reich Potato Office still had about 80 million hundredweights of rutabagas left at the end of the winter of 1917, which had not been distributed. They were processed into dried vegetables and beet flour. This flour was then mixed with potato flour and Maggi soup cubes and sold as a "complete food", whereby each family had to buy a certain amount in order to be able to buy other foodstuffs."

Takes a lot of skill to reproduce something like this. I admire that skill. Being in the USA, never heard of the product before this video. In the USA, nutrition labels hide as much as they legally can so others can't reproduce the over priced product. I've seen labels in other countries that least ingredients by percentage of product and standardized to 100gr portions, very helpful info. The interesting take away for me, would be to make some local variation using inexpensive local produce/ingredients. Keeping the sweet, sour and chunky aspects. Some of the industrial ingredients are expensive on the consumer level. I just don't have a pot nearly as large as the one you used :)

@@BackyardChef Thanks for the tip Rik. Was able to look up the Branston label at a UK online store. It listed the percentage for the main vegetable ingredient only. I recently bought some Mae Ploy Brand Thai curry paste and found a label listing(country unknown) that showed the percent for each ingredient and thought how useful this would be here in the USA. And how it would never happen here either..... This helped me sort out which Thai curry paste to buy as the others available locally used cheap non-thai ingredients (and not things like lemongrass, galandal and kefir lime) looking forward to making curry soon. Still searching for the country which requires all percentages to be listed as a way to help me recreate foods like you did with this pickle recipe.

Hi Rik great video. Rice floor is used to keep chopped dates from merging into each other. Check any packet at the supermarket. I think it's a by product of where Branston their ingredients from.

Due to financial constraints I am having to make most basic ingredients myself, including apple cider vinegar, various spice & herb mixes, various baking mixes, sauces, jams & breads, biscuits & cakes etc. While I do save quite a bit, it is very labour intensive - so I have a schedule. One of my favourite sauces is peach chutney - also uses a mix of vinegar, sugar & spices. I am looking for a mushroom preserve recipe to add as part of a veg stock (things like miso & tamari are way out of my budget!) - I'm not sure if I should do pickle mushrooms or something more like a mushroom jam / chutney.

The pectin from the apples help set the pickle when cooled.

When I was a kid in the 40s/50s we used to make green tomato chutney and that was fairly close to a sweet Pan Yan pickle.

I find that the Branston-style pickle I make is sharp tasting. It needs a week or two to mellow.

In the USA, at least where I'm from, we have the similar Italian Giardiniera available everywhere and commonly consumed. Essentially the same thing, less the rutabaga and usually white vinegar & salt (savory) based brines. The ingredients and your description of the Branston brine makes me think very much of the A1 steak sauce we have over here.

Wow, Rik! You have done an amazing job recreating Branston Pickle!! I love it but it is so expensive here in the States. It is good to know I can make it myself with easy to find ingredients. Thanks!!

I used to eat Branson all the time then I tried the Tesco sandwich pickle which is sweeter and has smaller pieces, I buy it all the time, and I bet yours will be as sweet as Tescos, good vid.

I thought it looked like what we call rutabaga in the States. But now I am wondering how one carves a swede/rutabaga into a Jack-o-lantern.
@dee225114 сағат бұрын
I believe it was called Swede because the vegetable originated in Sweden

The Swedish name for the “Swedish turnip” is rotabagge. The German word for it is Steckrübe. This means plug turnip.
