Tomato and pineapple relish

I grew some dark tomatoes this year, they are so soft to eat but did make outstanding relish.

3 kg of ripe tomatoes, cored and chopped smallish
1250 grams of chopped onions
4 seeded chili chopped [ not the very hot ones ]
3 green capsicum chopped [seeded]
layer in a stainless steel bowl with a sprinkle of
plain salt over each layer, leave 4 hours, and strain.

Put the veg into a preserving pan with
4 cups of malt vinegar
750 grams of brown sugar
3 tsp mustard seeds
3 tsp celery seeds
1 & 1/2 Tablespoons of curry powder
1 & 1/2 Tablespoons of turmeric
1 Tablespoon of plain salt

Bring it to a boil and then simmer until the vegetables are cooked, and reduced down by a 1/4
Add a 425 gram can of crushed pineapple, with the juice

Thicken with
6 Tbsp of cornflour
1 cup cup of malt vinegar
I thought this recipe a little loose a bit more cornflour for me, my husband likes it as is. Don't you hat that.

***I see another recipe with pineapple further up, must try that and the telegraph cucumber recipe thanks. I grew heaps in my glasshouse but gee when they are done producing, its over.

I have a young tree with 1 very large apple on it, can't wait to try it, first time it fruited. Supposed to have the best antioxidant properties of all the different types of apples according to my sister in law.

pickles7, Mar 23, 8:39pm
My tree has been in for two years. katalin2. We had to prop up the branches to stop them breaking under the weight of the fruit. We lost three apples to the wind and size. I cooked those. They tend to grow three fruit together.

Worcestershire Sauce.

Yielded 4 X 330ml bottles of sauce.
robman7 (292 )

This is nice and easy. A good amount, when you have to buy, the vinegar.

5 cups malt vinegar,
1 kg treacle,
2 teaspoons sea salt,
3cm piece green ginger finely chopped,
4 cloves garlic finely chopped ,
2 tablespoons ground cloves,
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, bring to the boil and cook gently uncovered for 20 minutes.
Cover and let it stand overnight.

Next day strain and bottle, ready for use immediately but shake bottle before using.
I decided to put this in here, for easy access. It is maturing well.
I will make it again, when I have to buy vinegar.

Plum Sauce . [ yellow fleshed plums ]
Yield
6 X 750 mil wine bottles of sauce.

Put everything into a preserving pan
3.5 kg of plums.

3 cm grated fresh ginger
1 kg of brown sugar
2 Tbsp sea salt
2 tsp gr. mace
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp gr. cloves
5 tsp gr allspice

Simmer for 1&1/2 hours,

Pick the stones out as they rise, it is way easier when you put the pulp through the mouli. I sometimes count the plums before I start, so I can retrieve all the stones, the mouli just hates them.
Bottle while hot, cork when cold.

Pickled Lemons

Lemons
Sea salt
Glass jars with plastic lids

Wash the lemons well
Cut almost through from the stem end
Turn the lemon over and give a half turn
Cut near through from the blossom end
Put a teaspoon of sea salt into each end
Put the lemon into the jar, do this to each lemon filling the jar.
I filled 3 jars, condensing them down to 2 as the lemons shrunk.

So very nice in many things, and a great way to use up lemons from your tree.
