This is the one I used last year and it is delish.
Directions: 1) Skin tomatoes by coring and cutting across the tops. Pour boiling water over them leave until cool enough to handle then skin.
2) Boil all ingredients together for approx 1 hour or until tender.
3) then thicken with the cornflour mixed with a little water to a thin paste. Stir in whilst you stir and cook a further 5 min, stirring all the time.
4) put in clean jars filling to the top and pop the hot lid on (lids soaking in boiled water). When cool tighten the lid again.
Note: I often add more mustard for more depth of flavour, but you can test taste your own brew and be the judge.

Mrs Coxhead's Tomato Relish 1kg ripe red tomatoes, skinned (in boiling water, then under cold tap, remove skins) 3 large onions, finely chopped 2 cups sugar 1 cup malt vinegar 1 Tbsp common salt (not iodised) 1 Tbsp mustard powder 1 Tbsp curry powder 1 Tbsp Cornflour 1/4 (quarter) cup extra malt vinegar Cube tomatoes, add chopped onion - all to a large pot. Add the sugar, vinegar and salt. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Then boil fairly briskly for about 15 minutes, then add mustard, curry powder and cornflour mixed to a paste with the vinegar. Simmer for 5 mins more. Fill sterilised, hot jars and top with the metal popper lids (Jam jars etc). If using jars without lids, top with melted paraffin wax when cold. Reduce sugar by half to 1 cup if desired. You can add I green, I red pepper and celery finely chopped, if liked. I don't. Sometimes I add thick puree from my previous year's harvest or some bought tomato paste to add to the colour. Enjoy!

My toms have been in abundance since Xmaz. Only way to keep up is each week anything we havn't used in salads, pies, quiches goes into roasting pan for half dozen jars of what ever I make. This week slow roasted tomatoe apple plum spiced chutney (to die for). Last week dozen jars kasundi. Then theres the chilli tomato relishes, sweet tomato jams, tomato sauce, various asian , indian, euro, basting sauces, sundried grilled stored in oil, and my own jars of concoctions. Neighbours and friends have been blessed. The pantry is groaning and yet more ripen every few days. Even the birds are gutzing on them.

I have a great spicy tomato relish recipe which does not require peeling the tomatoes - very helpful if you have a glut of cherry tomatoes. ;)

Edmonds Cook book one is brilliant. never fail. You can spice it up with extra hot curry. My sister in-law doesnt peel her tomatoes. I throw mine in boling water and the skin breaks away easy.

I agree Edmonds book has a drop dead easy recipe. I add a clove of garlic and sometimes a spoon of Trident sweet chilli sauce.

This recipe for Tomato Relish was given to me by some missionary friends and they got the recipe in India when they lived there. It is really yummy.
3kg tomatoes, 1kg onions, 1/2 cup salt, 3+1 cups vinegar (Brown), 3/4 kg sugar, 2 dessertspoons mustard (dry), 2 tablespoons Hot curry powder, 3/4 cup cornflour. Peel and chop nions and tomatoes and place in a large plastic container. Add salt and cover well with water. Stir to mix and allow to stand overnight. Next day strain through colander and drain well. Place tomatoes and opnions in large pan and add 3 cups of vinegar and bring to the boil. Add sugar and mix well, return to the boil. Mix curry powder, mustard and cornflour together with 1 cup of vinegar and stir into relish until it thickens. Boil gently for 40-60 mins stirring from time to time. Pour into sterilized jars and seal.
