Our local Foodland store had some locally grown tomatoes for sale so I snapped these ones up then went back and bought another 6 kgs to make relish.
I love tomatoes on crackers or toast....love!
Last night I skinned and chopped up 12 lbs tomatoes and food processored 4 kgs of onions. I was a crying mess after that! Last year I didn't even cry, this year I had tears streaming and it took a good two hours for my eyes to settle down...
This is my Mum's stock pot that she used to make her jams and relish in...
Here is the relish - almost done...
Getting it into jars is a messy business!
I followed the 12lb recipe but it is a bit obscure...I boiled it for a good 30 minutes after it had come to the boil for 5 minutes...
This is the South Australian book I used...
26 lovely jars of relish, nice and sweet and spicy!
Cheers - Joolz xx
