Lime and Date Pickle / Kerala Style
Didnt I tell you here that I fell in love with the food in kerala and also that we packed loads of good things from there. I knew back then that I would be doing a lot of recipes from there at home and posting on my space to share with all. When Valli announced the pickle theme for BM, I jumped at the opportunity for this special pickle recipe. She did ask me to include one sweet version and I knew that that I had to (had to!) make this one. I made about 4 batches (albeit smaller) to arrive at the final recipe. So for the 2nd day of Blogging marathon ...3rd week, enjoy the recipe for lime and date pickle
