Would someone be so kind as to put the recipe in here for me. I tried Googling and keep ending up with bizarre recipes that are not the Edmonds one. Or if anyone has a really good tomato relish recipe, I had one with powdered mustard, but sadly have lost it. Thanks for your help.

LOL 1886! I make this one as well but add a few extra chillis. The only thing I would tweek on this Edmonds recipe (other than the chillis) is slightly less vinegar than they suggest.

while you have your recipe books out I wonder if anyone has a recipe foe cucumber and tomato relish please. I have dozens of recipe books but also a thumping headache :-( I too tried google but too confusing.
I do have a jolly good tomato relish recipe which can also be used as a sauce recipe simply by boiling longer and straining if anyone would like it.

This recipe is tried and true. It's best with those lovely outdoor tomatoes we used to have before they started making tomatoes for longevity and less tastiness but it does seem to have good proportions and works very well.

if your worried just cut it down to 1 or 2 chillies . its not in my mind a hot spicy relish but is very easy to make and goes down well

I made the classic Edmonds tomato relish last month after reading this thread. When I bottled it I thought it smelt strongly of malt vinegar but I have just tried on a roast lamb sandwich and it is DELICIOUS!

It definitely improves in flavour after it has cooled and been left for at least a day or so. I have been making this for many many years.

3 kg tomatoes and 1/2 the sugar. makes it far nicer, not as jam tasting.

I make the Edmonds recipe with some changes, using white vinegar so the tomato-red colour is brighter than with malt vinegar, and I leave the skins on for extra texture and goodness. I chop the tomatoes and onions to a chunky size so there's great texture to the relish. I don't add flour or any other thickening ingredient - I keep simmering the relish, stirring often, until it's as thick as I want the mix to be - remembering that a mixture is usually thicker once cold. The flavour is incredible :-)
