I made this for the first time last summer, and I loved the chilli in it, gave it a real zing, have been saving up my jars and have lots tomato plants in the garden so i can make heaps this year. I only ended up with 3 jars last year and i greedily kept them all for myself as they were so yummy

It's our favourite tomato relish recipe too. though I don't thicken it at all. I simmer the mixture till it's as thick as I want it to be, then bottle it. if you want to do this, the mix will thicken a bit as it cools, so have it a little less thick when you bottle it. The flavour is more intense. and no flour needed at all.
I also use white vinegar so the relish has a more red colour than when using malt vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is great too.
It's great to spread over a pizza base then ingredients added. amazing flavour.One jar left from last year.

I use arrowroot to thicken instead of flour.

I use arrowroot to thicken instead of flour. Had one lot that was not quite thick enough when cold so emptied in pan and heated. Added some arrowroot (mixed with a little water) and heated till liquid became 'clear' and bottled.
