Tomato relish or chutney recipe wanted

I have lots of heritage tomatoes all ripening together and want to make some chutney with them. Does anyone have a nice recipe they could share with me, thanks.

20 large(ish) skinned tomatoes, 3 onions, 1/4 C salt - cover and leave for several hours or overnight.Next day drain off ALL liquid.

Add 500 g brown sugar, white vinegar (JUST enough to cover tomato mixture) simmer for 1 hr or so, stir often.

2 T flour, 2 t mustard (your choice), 2 t curry powder, 1 t cinnamon - use this with just enough white vinegar to make a paste, add to above mixture until thickend to preferred consistency.Makes 6 (500gram) jars.Leave for 2 months if you can! to allow flavours to develop.

No idea why my recipe calls for white rather than malt vinegar because both work just fine.My family loves this one over my Spicey relish (which I LOVE), if you'd like this I can try and post later on

i would suggest 2-3 cups vinegar, as different size pots and tomatoes.

Oh I would love the spicy one if you have time to post it later, thanks.

Digby Law's Apple and Tomato Chutney is fabulous! I just opened a jar I made 18 months ago and it's amazing.
