It has an aniseedy, smokey taste to it - probably caused by the interaction of the fennel seed and the smoked paprika I used. You obviously wouldn't want a heap of this on the side of your plate but it is a very tasty condiment to have along with your more usual lime pickles and mango chutneys.
The pickle is nearly a month old here and is maturing nicely.
It has some great colour to it thanks to the paprika.
