Tomato Apple Relish

This is a recipe that brings together some very unlikely ingredients – apples & tomatoes melded together in a sweetly spicy tangy mix that can be a wonderful condiment for meats, cheeses, toast toppings, or however creative you’d like to get.

Ingredients:-

• 1 kg ripe red tomatoes peeled & chopped
• 200gm onions chopped
• 100 gm raisins
• 250 gm cooking apples peeled & chopped
• 300 gm sugar
• 225 ml vinegar
• 2tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp all spice
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Method:-

Place all ingredients in a heavy sauce pan & heat gently until sugar dissolves completely. Bring to boil stirring. Then simmer on low heat stirring regularly (so mixture does not burn) for at least 1 hour or until mixture is thick & pulpy. Pour into sterilized jars & cover. This is best left to mature for 1 or 2 days before eating.

Mommy’s Tip: Use as a topping on crackers, brucchettas with cheese with a chilled white wine.
