Auriol RamsayEasy to follow recipe 🙂 I made about three weeks ago and totally forgot about them. They've been sat marinating in their jars for around 3 weeks, unrefrigerated. Will they be safe to eat?4 Years ago, Tuesday, July 26, 2022Yes, they should be fine if the jars were tightly sealed. Try a few first, however once you open a jar, keep it refrigerated for up to 5 days only.4 Years ago, Tuesday, July 26, 2022 -

FilomenaWhy 2 to 2.5 hours for cooking. The top layer of the skin will peel out? Also why after the draining you put hot water?4 Years ago, Sunday, October 3, 2021It shouldn't Filomena, and you put them in hot water to help remove the bitter taste I think.4 Years ago, Monday, October 4, 2021
