My Mum has just started making jams and chutneys after a 30 year break and she asked if I would find her a recipe for a spicy tomato chutney (she says she needs a bit of 'hot' in her life !) I googled and gave her one which she made but she said she is so disappointed with it - it's not even hot and quite tasteless according to her. Does anyone have a tried and true SPICY tomato chutney/relish they would care to share! Thanks in advance.
Just add some chilli paste, or chop up a chilli or two. did that last year. beautiful

I made the tom relish out of the Edmonds cook book, it said to add 3! chillis, i added 3 good teaspoons of the chiili paste you get in the veg section at the supermarket, it turned out spicy. and i love it, nearly finished off 3 jars in 5-6 weeks and thats me eating it on my own

Edmonds cook book has a great recipe but I cook it with spiced vinegar instead of malt. Also add a clove of garlic. Its yum!

wash and finely chop the tomatoes, peel and finely chop the onions. Place the two tegether in a bowl, sprinkle with the salt and leave for at least an hour. Add raisins and sultanas. Bruise the ginger and chillies and put in other spices (you can use muslim if you prefer), add the vinegar and sugar/pectin stock. Leave for another hour (or overnight). Then Bring to the boil, then switch down and simmer stirring frequently. When you reach the desired thickness pour into hot sterilised jars.
