I particularly like their Sticky Pickle but they do a good red onion chutney. I think that Tesco stock their range. I also agree with bruno22rf that the Aldi caramelised onion chutney is brilliant.

JohnfromUK Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I have to admit to being probably very downmarket in finding standard Branston to be the one I keep coming back to. I also keep an onion chutney and have tried several. They were all nice and no particular one stands out as 'favourite'. A good piccalilli seems harder to find as most (to me anyway). seem too 'gloopy' and sweet. Tracklements is quite nice, but rather sharp and vinegary.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I reckon I have tried most pickles and chutneys, Branston is a good base line to work from. But, there are loads out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely due to reduced sugar, we buy Morrisons sweet pickled onions but I still find them a bit acidic so add a few spoons of sugar to take the edge off the sharpness, you could try adding some sugar to Branston's pickle.

marsh man Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I have had the above one a few times along with several others we used to buy from the game fairs , like all things you try for the first time you find some are alright and others you wouldn't buy again , I have just recently bought this one from M + S , it might well be to spice'y for me but as it was only a pound it was worth a try .

Yep, I find with a lot of pickles now they have reduced sugar, so usually end up putting some sugar in them. 46 minutes ago, marsh man said: I have had the above one a few times along with several others we used to buy from the game fairs , like all things you try for the first time you find some are alright and others you wouldn't buy again , I have just recently bought this one from M + S , it might well be to spice'y for me but as it was only a pound it was worth a try .

I'm the other way round - I find many of the pickles too sweet for me - but then I don't have a sweet tooth (if you ignore chocolate!) and I'm supposed to be frugal with sugar consumption.

I think my taste for a slightly sweet pickle came from my nan and mom, at Christmas they would thinly slice Spanish onion and cucumber, make a mix of vinegar, water and sugar and pickle it, lovely with cold turkey on a sandwich.
