Ingredients

• 1000 grams ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 250 ml apple cider vinegar
• 200 grams brown sugar
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under cool running water. Remove any labels or stems. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes, approximately 1 cm in size.

Step 2

Peel the red onion and chop it finely. Also, remove the seeds from the red bell pepper and dice it into small pieces of about the same size as the onions.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Step 4

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic.

Step 5

Add the apple cider vinegar and stir well to combine the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Stir in the brown sugar, mustard seeds, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Place the pot over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the ingredients don't stick to the bottom of the pot.

Step 8

Once the mixture starts simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook uncovered for about 90 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the relish from burning.

Step 9

The relish should thicken as it cooks. Test the consistency by running a spoon through the mixture; it should leave a gentle line.

Step 10

During the last 10 minutes of cooking, stir the relish more frequently and taste; adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let the relish cool slightly. Carefully transfer the relish into sterilized jars while still hot, and seal immediately.

Step 12

Allow the relish to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating. For best results, let the tomato relish sit in the refrigerator for at least a day before using to allow the flavors to meld well.
