Ahmed Lime Pickle – 12x330g

Description

Ahmed Lime Pickle – 12 x 330g: Sharp, Salty Citrus Achar for Everyday Meals

Whole lime pieces, softened in salt and canola oil, give this pickle its bright citrus bite. This listing is 12 x 330g, which means a case of twelve 330g jars, a retail shelf size rather than the larger 1kg catering jar. Lime leads the recipe, so the flavour is tangy and salty with the mellow warmth of the spice blend behind it.
