I often do home made presents
this year many people will have homemade chutney and jam I made with apples from my trees. In the past I have given crocheted things, photographed things and sewed things. I don't know if people appreciate them, but they at least have to pretend.

My homemade spicy pickled onions have somewhat of a cult following

oops
it was that christmas song about santa claus that Bob Dylan did. It was stupid.

I can kind of cook but not well, and the only reason I've got better lately is that I've given up free will (with regards to food) to tesco who tell me how to cook things these days

Hot, vinegary action
I mostly just trawl the internet for recipes when the apple deluge gets too much. I've made Apple and Ginger and Apple and Cinnamon jam, Spiced Apple and Apple and Raisin Chutney. I capitalised them all here to make them seem more important

My spicy pickled onions started as a joke
One of them family do's where you bring something for the buffet. Each year I’ve been making them hotter and hotter, this year’s has Dorset Naga chillies, the jokes backfired on me because now I have to make at least 12-30 jars each Christmas.

No way.
I just buy a massive bag of silverskin onions. The look on the faces this year will be priceless; anyone who eats them for the first time normally has a Picture taken and gets e-mailed to me.
I hope I don’t get sued.
