Relish It!

After the first couple of tomatoes were ready, we then had a burst of them all ready at the same time. I knew we probably wouldn't get through them all in time, so instead, I made a large jar of relish! Ran out of white vinegar in the process and so topped it up with malt, which has made it a bit stronger and also had no fresh chillies, so used chillie flakes, which made it a little hotter than usual, but overall a good brew and good use of the ripe crop. So easy to make:

Recipe:

1.5kg tomatoes chopped, 4 large onions diced. Place in large pan and sprinkle over 25g salt. Leave overnight. In morning, pour off liquid and add 500gms brown sugar, 3 small chillies (or sprinkle of flakes), enough vinegar to just cover. Bring to the boil, them simmer for 1.5 hours. Towards the end of cooking, mix together 2 Tblspns flour, 1 Tblspn mustard and 1 tblspn curry powder with a little cold vinegar to for a paste. Add to pot at end of simmer and then bring to boil stirring for 5 minutes. Pour immediately into hot sterilised jars and seal.
