Hairy Bikers – Last minute Christmas chutney

I am cooking this morning, something that has become s family tradition over the last couple of years, Hairy Bikers’ Last minute Christmas chutney. We keep a printout of the recipe fixed to the fridge door throughout the year so we can always find it at Christmas time! I add a large pinch of chilli flakes to the mix as we like it a bit spicy.

Nalgene containers – Camping and Backpacking

Nalgene containers - Camping and Backpacking

I am off to Scotland next weekend for two weeks and today I have been filling my Nalgene bottles and pots with spices, herbs, ground coffee, milk powder, corn flour, instant chai tea, olive oil, soy sauce and whisky – enough for one. Doing this saves weight and space in my packing. It is too easy to just fill the boot of my car when going off on my own to time share.
