I had purchased some Indian jujube to offer the Godess on Saraswati Puja. I first made some Indian chutney for allu paratha with some tomatoes, mustard paste, ginger and green chilly but it turned out to be too acidic.
I therefore made our famous Bengal pickle using jaggery, some spices and mustard oil. Bengalis like this pickle and I too like it. Have you ever tasted the Indian jujube sweet pickle?

It's called the Ber. If you add ginger, fennel (sauf), and ajwain to the pickle, it would keep away acidity. Of course you don't take sweet pickle. Most people from Rajasthan like the sour pickle.

@aninditasen It is right we don't like sweet pickle, Here we are using fennel in most of pickles but using ajwain only in lemon pickle

@anil02 The sourness becomes the cause of acidity.

It's a pickle. In India this pickle is made in different ways. It's called 'Ber' in Hindi in India.

Did you make this one?
I had never made any pickle or chutney but have only had Branston Pickle in the UK.
