I have made some Tomato Relish today using the Edmonds Cook Book. How thick should the relish be? It lookspretty runny to me.

It will thicken up once cold, have you put a thickening in it , before you took it of the stove

Yes I did, I followed the recipe exactly.

IT doesn't thicken when cold. Try the plate method like you do with jam, that will tell you.
Either boil it some more to reduce or add a bit of cornflour mixture.

I made relish yesterday(Edmonds) and it was fairly runny when I put it into jars . Fear not. . it will thicken as it cools unless it was like water.

Remember to leave the lid off the pot when simmering. The same as you would when making jam.
