I have a couple of kohlrabi in the fridge which I'm not sure what to do with, wondering about giving them the same treatment.

A couple of weekends ago I went to our community orchard in Hull and came away with 11Kg of apples and pears and a few kilo each of cabbages and onions from the allotments next door.
I ended up making so much hot spicy pickle, apple sauce and pickled red cabbage, I ran out of jars, had to get more and ran out again. I still have about 4Kg of apples left.
Along the way I also had a go at homemade ketchup from passata, which I'd never tried before and was really chuffed with it, well worth a try, my nieces and nephews love it and even said it's 'better than shop bought rubbish' despite using a low sugar receipt because of my type 2 diabetes.

I was at the Ideal Home Show at Olympia on Friday and saw a stall selling Kimchi so picked up a couple of things.
Here is thier site if anyone is interested https://www.kimchiwitheverything.com/
I just got the Quite Hot as the first taste I tried of the Very Hot nearly took my head off, but might give it another go.

I have that Lakeland jar. The 'airlock' is just to release the gasses which form. (I did wonder what the smell was in the living room where I've got it 'stewing'.)

Missing my copy of the cook book. Must have loaned it out, it is by Pat Chapman. Forgetting the title, will have to search it out. I have not made any for a while as it needs time to prep. A two day affair I think. The author claimed to have gone back to India to research the recipes and presented them as such. It was a cracking pickle when it came out ready.
However sometime ago there was a thread here and "Bob planner"(edited)?? put up a recipe for a chilly pickle. Have a copy on a printout. Hope he doesn't mind, I am not claiming credit for this but it is delicious, poor scan from phone.
