Tomato Relish

Step 1

Start with a big dish (3 to 4 quarts) of fresh skin-peeled tomatoes. You may want to blanch the tomatoes to make it easier to peel the skins off.

Step 2

To blanch, fill pot with water and bring water to boiling.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, cut a small X on the bottom of each tomato. Immerse tomatoes in the boiling water.

Step 4

Boil for 1 to 2 minutes or until the tomato skins open.

Step 5

Combine all ingredients in a large heavy pot similar to a Magnalite roaster or canning pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and similar to ketchup in consistency.

Step 6

Fill glass jars; process 15 minutes in hot water bath
