This is a tried and true recipe from the 1976 edition of the Edmonds cookbook: TOMATO RELISH 12 large tomatoes, peeled 4 large onions 25gm plain un-iodised salt 500gm brown sugar 1 tblsp dry mustard 1 tblsp curry powder 2 tblsp plain flour 3 chilllies malt vinegar
Cut tomatoes and onions into four or more pieces. Sprinkle with salt and leave overnight. Next day pour off liquid (don't save it - this process is just to get the excess water from the tomatoes).
Put tomato and onion mix into large pot with sugar and chillies. Add enough vinegar to just cover. Bring to boil and simmer 1 & 1/2 hours.
Mix flour, curry powder and mustard to a smooth pasted with a little cold vinegar. Add to mixture and boil hard 5 minutes.
Put into hot sterilized jars and cover when cold. You can cover when hot if you have pop-top jars you want to recycle. Also, if you have family who like it hot, add more chillies at the start. I've added up to 10 small dried chillies for family who like Thai food :)

sathan81, something else I do in the height of the tomato harvest is cook a sort of ratatouille mix of tomatoes, onions, garlic, green peppers and zucchini and freeze it in ice-cream containers. It's great in the middle of the winter as a starter for a number of recipes, or just eaten as is.
