Bit hard to taste test when the salt goes on the night before relish is cooked Uli!It's easy enough to add more if it's not salty enough when cooked but harder to remove.Sammynator I see he uses 2 tablespoons to 2 kg tomatoes in his tomato chutney (as opposed to relish) recipe whereas I use 4 tbspns in my own tomato relish recipe (also 2kg) so maybe 3 tbspns and taste at the end?

I make the Edmonds Tomato Relish recipe which is very similar to this one, and it has 25gm of plain salt to 12 large tomatoes & 4 onions (same reason...to draw off the excess water and drain away next day).

I think you are missing the sugar in that recipe!
