Panyan pickle reconstructed.
May 27, 2013
*PLEASE NOTE - this is an old blog post from 2013 - we no longer sell PanYan Pickle - thank you!*
It may be a little later than I anticipated but I have attempted to replicate panyan pickle based on the ingredients listed on the original jar. A couple of ingredients have changed, I used cornflour rather than potato starch to thicken the pickle and I suspect I am using a better quality vinegar than the original but, it is done and will soon be for sale in the online shop. This week!
I have based the spicing on all your memories using tamarind, ginger, curry spices etc I need to know if I have got it right.
I do need more feedback, a jar was sent to a panyan pickle lover who says she has tried all panyan pickles on the market. She responded by buying 6 jars and emailed how much she loved it but said her memory wasn't sharp enough to give true analysis.
To this end the first 10 people who order the pickle online will have the cost of the jar refunded if they are prepared to give me feedback, good or bad, just put the word 'feedback' in the' instructions to seller' and I will refund the purchase. Unfortunately the postage will still need to be paid and this is £6.00. Only one free jar per purchaser but of course you can buy anything you want to dilute the postage costs.
Alternatively email me and I can invoice you I am useless at technology.

My recollection was that it was similar to Branston pickle, although less brown in colour and a lot less vinegary. It had a bit more yellow in it, mellower, smoother and sweeter.
I absolutely loved PanYan, I know when it was still around they changed the recipe slightly and it wasn’t the same, have been trying to find this for years, I must admit your one looks very light in colour and big chunks of veg etc, it was a sweeter taste, I preferred it more than Branston.
Bought one to try as a pan yan lover. Not bad attempt would agree needs to be darker (I remember the yellow showing through when spread).
The vegetable pieces seem the right size as I remember them just the taste a lot milder. as suggested above slightly more curry powder.
Final suggestion put a version number on, as I would like to try batch v2.0.
excellent job for trying
