Superior Homemade Condiments

In the beginning, of course, pickles, chutneys, salsas, relishes, even salad dressings were always made at home. Now we have somehow come to believe that everyday condiments are impossible to make and must be purchased in jars. While there may be some good brands, and buying ready-made is convenient, a look at the label usually reveals unpronounceable ingredients, along with thickeners, sweeteners, and “natural flavors,” a term that is always a little unnerving. So it makes sense that they’re absolutely better when you make them yourself. Stirring them up is easy, and quite a pleasurable activity.
