The classics
Sharp, clean, the jars that live in the fridge door and get finished first.
Turmeric Cauliflower
Cauliflower florets and baby onions in a turmeric and mustard brine that turns them gold. Cuts through anything rich.
Garlic & Herb Olives
Kalamata and green olives cured in brine, then dressed with rosemary, lemon peel and a lot of garlic.
Silverskin Onions
Little silverskin onions in malt vinegar with bay and black peppercorns. Six weeks before we let them out.
Mixed Farm Vegetables
Carrot, cauliflower, green bean and pepper in one jar, in a clean herb brine. The label changes with the season.
Pickled Green Beans
Whole green beans packed standing up with dill, garlic and a single chilli. The best thing to happen to a bloody mary.
Bring the heat

Bring the heat
For the people who put chilli on chilli. Handle the atchar with respect.
Fire & Smoke Chillies
Bird's eye and cayenne chillies with smoked paprika, roasted garlic and a splash of cane vinegar. Good on everything, dangerous on eggs.
Mama's Mango Atchar
Hard green mango shredded and cured in salt and sun, then folded through masala and mustard oil. The jar that empties fastest.

The sweet side
Sugar, spice and fruit. These belong next to cheese, cold meat and a Sunday roast.
Sweet Piquanté Peppers
Whole little peppers, seeded by hand, in a light sweet brine. Cheese boards, pizza, straight from the jar at 11pm.
Pickled Baby Beetroot
Whole baby beets simmered, peeled and pickled with clove and orange peel. Stains everything it touches, worth it.
Bread & Butter Cucumber
Cucumber sliced thin with onion, celery seed and a sweet-sour brine. The burger jar. Keep it in the fridge door.
Spiced Apricots & Peach
Halved apricots and yellow cling peaches in a cinnamon, star anise and cider vinegar syrup. Christmas in a jar.
