Spicy relish


Well, since it's tomato season, and there are heaps and heaps of tomatos (the neighbour has said we can help ourself to his he has so many) and the apples are ripened too, we decided to make some relish. It's such a simple, wonderful thing to do with tomato surplus. Here's my recipe:

Spare Oom spicy apple and tomato relish

Ingredients

1.5kg of Tomato (chopped)
4 large onions (chopped)
4-5 tart apples (peeled cored and chopped)
1 small Chilli (finely chopped)
400ml vinegar (of your own choice)
400 g Sugar
1 tbsp Salt
1 tbsp Curry powder
3 tbsp Flour

Directions

Put chilli, onion, tomato and apple in a large pot with vinegar and sugar. Bring to the boil stirring often. Reduce to a simmer for about 40 mins, stirring often, till mixture has reduced and thickened.

In the meantime, mix in a bowl flour, salt and curry powder together. Add water or fluid from the pot to make a smooth paste, mix paste thouroughly with the reduced mixture.

Pour relish into sterilised jars and seal. Put jars into a boiling water bath for 10 mins, remove and allow to cool. Store in a cool dark place.


We made 2 batches, milder and 'extra spicy'. The we topped them off with our homemade lables. Lolly (she's 7) helped me by adding the 'extra spicy'
