Cooks Tips...

To sterilise the jars: wash thoroughly in warm soapy water, rinse and heat in a moderate oven for 5 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1kg ripe Tomatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 200g Onions, chopped
  • 100 g raisins or sultanas
  • 250 g cooking Apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
  • 300g Sugar
  • 225ml vinegar
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground Ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Method

1. Place all the ingredients in a large stainless steel saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved completely.

2. Bring to the boil, stirring, then simmer on a low heat, stirring regularly (to make sure the mixture does not burn on the bottom of the pan) for about 1 hour or until thick and pulpy.

3. Pour into hot sterilised jars and cover.

4. This is best left to mature for 1-2 weeks before eating if possible.

This is excellent. After returning back to the states from attending Ballymaloe Cookery School made this for my husband, uncle and friends it was a huge hit.
