The secret recipie - B C tomato Relish

Lazairus

Hello

I for one am sick of paying for a certain Jar of Relish

and wonder if anybody has come across the recipe?

It has to be around some where?

I'd say almost any tomato chutney, with the vegetables very finely chopped and too much sugar added would do the trick.

I make this every Christmas for gifts and people go nuts for it. If you're not into heat, just reduce or leave out the chillis.


Spicy Tomato Relish

Serves 30

2 large red onions

2½ kg ripe tomatoes

150g raisins, coarsely chopped

6 cloves garlic, crushed

10 small red chillies, seeded and finely chopped

juice and peel of 1 lemon (peel cut into long strips)

2 tablespoons grated ginger

3 teaspoons ground allspice

2 teaspoons ground cloves

3 teaspoons salt

2 cups apple cider vinegar

2 cups Bundaberg Sugar (White or Raw depending on preference)

1 tablespoon cornflour

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (extra)

1. Place onions in a food processor and process until finely chopped; place in a large saucepan. Cut tomatoes into halves and process in batches until chopped, but not pureed (there should still be chunks of tomato visible). Add to onions, along with all other ingredients, except for cornflour and extra vinegar. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Boil, stirring occasionally, for 1–1½ hours or until starting to thicken.

2. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until very thick. Stir often to stop mixture sticking to base of pan.

3. Combine cornflour with extra apple cider vinegar. Add to tomato mixture and simmer, stirring for 2 minutes .Turn off heat and let stand for 10 minutes, then spoon into clean warm jars and seal. Turn the jars upside down for 2 minutes, then invert and leave to cool.

You might find you'll make something nicer.
Does it really have to be exactly the same?

Personally, over the years I got very tired of that relish turning up in every half decent sambo and wouldn't want to recreate it at all but rather come up with something similar but different.
