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)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the tomatoes and chop them into small, roughly even-sized pieces. Removing seeds is optional but not necessary.
Step 2
Peel and finely dice the onions.
Step 3
Add the tomatoes, onions, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a large, heavy-based pot.
Step 4
Place the pot on medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Step 5
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
As the mixture thickens, stir in the paprika, ground cloves, and chili flakes (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Allow the relish to cook until it reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick and jam-like.
Step 9
Remove the pot from heat and let the relish cool slightly.
Step 10
Transfer the relish into sterilized jars while still warm, leaving a small amount of headspace at the top.
Step 11
Seal the jars tightly, allow them to cool completely, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
