Lime Pickle is a condiment that has crept into use in South African homes very unobtrusively. In my opinion this very delicious pickle has not been exposed enough although it is very much enjoyed in the Kwa-Zulu Natal region of South Africa for very obvious reasons. This is where the majority of the Asian (Indian) population is concentrated and this is a delicacy that they have introduced into the South African gastronomy together with Mango Pickles (Achar).
I have always enjoyed the combination of spices and the lime bitterness that work well together to create a delightful accompaniment to any meal. It will enhance the culinary experience of a meal as simple as a sandwich. Lime Pickle has a piquancy without the chilli 'hot'. It is really delicious!
This pickle was hardly ever homemade although when bought, it was much enjoyed by everyone! I have greatly researched this 'MUST have' pickle before developing a condiment with a unique flavour that I know people globally WILL enjoy!
