🧅 Time to make homemade pickled onions! 🧅

There’s something very satisfying about making your own pickled onions — and this is the perfect time of year to get a jar or two tucked away for the months ahead.

Pickling onions are small, thin-skinned onions that are sweeter and milder than their full-sized cousins. Once pickled, they become wonderfully crisp, tangy and full of flavour — perfect alongside a ploughman’s, cold meats, cheese or a good homemade pie. 🧀🥧

A simple traditional method:

🧅 Peel the onions and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt, cover and leave overnight.

💧 The next day, rinse the onions thoroughly and pat them dry.

🥒 Pack the onions into clean, sterilised jars, adding a few peppercorns, mustard seeds and a bay leaf if you fancy.

🍶 Heat your pickling vinegar with a little sugar and your choice of spices, then allow it to cool slightly.

Pour the vinegar over the onions, making sure they are completely covered. Seal the jars and leave them somewhere cool and dark for at least 4–6 weeks before opening.

And then… enjoy that lovely homemade crunch! ❤️

Sometimes the old-fashioned ways really are the best.

🌽 Spotlight on Sweetcorn 🌽

There's something wonderfully simple about a fresh cob of sweetcorn. Rows of plump, juicy kernels packed with natural sweetness, sweetcorn is one of those veg that really shines when it's fresh. Once picked, those natural sugars start turning to starch, so the sooner you cook it, the sweeter and juicier it'll be.

Keep it classic and boil or steam your cob, then slather with a k**b of butter and a good pinch of salt. Fancy something different? Try it chargrilled on the barbecue for a smoky edge, or slice the kernels off and toss them through a summer salad with peas and a squeeze of lemon.

However you serve it, sweetcorn is a lovely reminder that the simplest dishes are often the best.

🍒 Spotlight on Local Cherries from Blackmoor 🍒

These beautiful cherries come from Blackmoor, right here in Hampshire, and they are absolutely worth getting excited about. Deep red, glossy, and bursting with sweet-sharp flavour, cherries are one of the true treats of the British summer. They also happen to be one of nature's great "superfruits," packed with antioxidants and with a history stretching all the way back to the Romans, who are thought to have brought them to Britain in the first century AD. Part of the same family as almonds, apricots, peaches, and plums, they are as nutritious as they are delicious.

Here are a few simple ways to enjoy them:

🍒 Eat them fresh, straight from the bag, as a perfect summer snack 🍒 Fold them into a clafoutis or a simple crumble for a gorgeous pudding 🍒 Pair them with good cheese and crackers for an easy summer sharing board
