Do you have an Edmonds Cookbook!The tomato relish recipe is delicious. I make it all the time.

This tried and true Edmonds recipe never fails.I sometimes tweak the quantities, with no failures.

TOMATO RELISH

12 large peeled tomatoes (put into boiling water, leave a few minutes and skins pop off) cut into quarters
4 large onions, peeled and quartered

Sprinkle 25 gm plain (not iodised) table salt over the top and leave for 12 hours or overnightto draw off excess water

Drain and discard water
Put into large pot and add:
500gm brown sugar and enough malt vinegar to just cover tops

Bring to boil and simmer uncovered for one and a half hours

Mix to a paste with a little cold vinegar:
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
1 tablespoon curry powder (I use the red Vencat pottle)
2 tablespoons plain flour
3 to 5 dried chillis

Add this to pot and boil five minutes (while adding, stir quickly so you don't get lumps of flour)

Pour into sterilised jars (100*C in the oven for about 20 minutes) and cover when cold.(I sometimes cover while hot with cellophane jam covers, if I have no lids.)

Hi, can you not seal this in hot jars!

cgvl, Feb 18, 10:20pm
yes you can do it while still hot into hot bottles.
I always bottle chutney, relishes, sauces and jams while hot.
