There was a very good recipe in a recent copy of KG.
How long between making and eating, if you please?

I tried an on line recipe for that and found it too sweet, can you post the recipe please, we have loads of beans and I shall try again. The wisley magic beans planted early, have been very prolific, and the moonlight plabted later have been smothered in flowers just coming into production now. My tip keep the pickle somewhere cool and dark if you want to keep a good colour. not sure of the optimum time to mature as I hadn't made it before.
Sit down before a fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconcieved notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.

We used this recipes but just used green beans instead of the other ingredients.

Although it's called sweet piccalilli it hasn't any added sugar.
We do make it on a stove outside as the boiling vinegar is very potent!

I haven't used this particular recipe before but my past experience with pickles & chutneys of various kinds suggests that you should leave them for at least a month. I don't think this is necessarily a hard & fast rule as they will all have the necessary amount of preservatives in; it's probably just a case of letting the flavours mature a little.

Generally it is supposed to be better after keeping a few months but often we can't wait and eat it sooner - no problem eating it straight away!

I can't find it online, but it's on page 98 of September's issue.
