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
brown or white vinegar
500g brown sugar
3 chillies
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon mustard powder
2 tablespoons flour

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 chillies. 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).
