It is loosely based on a recipe that was given to me by a school mum. It's actually her mum's recipe and I first tasted this relish when I bought a jar of it at our school fete last year. It was such a hit at our place that I boldly asked for the recipe.
2kg ripe tomatoes
(I used an assortment of roma, vine tomatoes and cherry tomatoes because that is what had on hand)
250g brown onion
1 1/2 tbls curry powder
1 1/2 tbls dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups sugar
1 tbls cornflour
white vinegar to barely cover.
Place tomatoes in boiling water and then peel off skins. Cut into pieces.
Cut onions.Place tomatoes and onions in pot and barely cover with white vinegar.
Boil for 5-10 minutes.
Mix curry, mustard, cayenne and cornflour into a little bit of vinegar. Mix into thin paste.
Add to pot along with sugar and boil for 1 hour, checking and stirring and making sure it does not stick.
Bella LOVES this relish! She is loves it on a meat and salad sandwich, she eats it on toast, she loves it with crackers and cheese and last night she ate it with sour cream and chicken sausages. Yum!
It makes a nice quantity so be sure to pop some in a jar and share it with a lovely friend.

Ooooo I've never made relish either but that looks easy and sounds yum! I'm going to try it! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Oh this sounds delicious Lea. I'll have to make a note of this because I have quite a few tomato plants in the garden and if all goes well I'll have just a few tomatoes to use up:)
