Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams ripe tomatoes
- 2 large brown onions
- 250 ml white vinegar
- 200 grams sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes and chop them into small, roughly even-sized pieces. Removing seeds is optional but not necessary.
Peel and finely dice the onions.
Add the tomatoes, onions, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a large, heavy-based pot.
Place the pot on medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture starts boiling, lower the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Let it cook for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
As the mixture thickens, stir in the paprika, ground cloves, and chili flakes (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Allow the relish to cook until it reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick and jam-like.
Remove the pot from heat and let the relish cool slightly.
Transfer the relish into sterilized jars while still warm, leaving a small amount of headspace at the top.
Seal the jars tightly, allow them to cool completely, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
