Thinly slice it and add it so some thinly sliced onions, cover it with some malt vinegar (the normal brown stuff) and leave it for an hour or so.
It is lovely with cheese on a sandwich instead of pickle.

I make that. Always knew it as 'Bread and butter pickle' because you can eat it just by itself on bread and butter!Originally posted by 21again View PostThinly slice it and add it so some thinly sliced onions, cover it with some malt vinegar (the normal brown stuff) and leave it for an hour or so.
