Tomato Relish

My recipe comes from a book that most Kiwis have been brought up on - The Edmonds Cookery Book.

Tomato Relish

12 large tomatoes, peeled
4 large onions
25g salt
500g brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 tablespoons flour
3 chillis

Cut the tomato into four or more pieces. Sprinkle with salt and leave overnight. Next day, pour off the liquid and, put the tomato and onion mixture in to a preserving pan with sugar and chillis. Add enough vinegar to cover. (See picture above) Bring to the boil. Simmer 1 1/2 hours. Mix flour, curry powder and mustard to a smooth paste with a little cold vinegar. Add to mixture and boil five minutes. Put into sterilised jars and seal tightly.(Right).
