People assume that because one is old that time is not an issue. The trouble is, when you are as old as I am, everything simply takes so much longer to do! I can assure you, Nana’s brain moves just as quickly as ever, but my poor old limbs just don’t seem to follow, so a recipe that is reasonably quick to prepare is a boon for me. Most pickles and chutneys take the best part of a day to make and three months to mature. To speed things along, I’m making a batch of sweet and tangy bread and butter pickles. They are as delicious as a relish, but are ready in 24 hours.

Other fruit can be used in this recipe. Try cherries, plums, nectarines, apricots, mangoes or lychees. Note

For added indulgence, top with whipped cream. Note

If desired, mix fruit of choice into cream mixture before freezing. Note
