Ingredients

Scale

1 kg Tomatoes
2 Onions
2 Tbsp Salt
1 Cup / 250ml Vinegar
2 Cups / 500g Sugar
1 tsp Mustard Powder

Instructions

Start this recipe the day before. Start by peeling your tomatoes. Cut an x into the bottom of each tomato and place into boiling water for 20-30 seconds until the skin starts to peel back. Leave the tomatoes to cool for a minute before peeling off the skin.
Roughly dice the peeled tomatoes and onion and place into a bowl. Sprinkle over the salt and mix to combine. Cover with a tea towel and leave at room temperature overnight.

The next day strain the tomatoes and onion to remove the liquid.
Add the tomatoes and onion into a medium sized saucepan with the vinegar, sugar and mustard powder. Stir to combine and place over medium heat.

Once the mixture comes to the boil turn the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The relish is ready when it has developed a rich red colour, reduced and thickened.
Remove the relish from the heat and pour into sterilized jars. Seal with a lid and allow to cool.
