OMG what a fabulous recipe for Tomato,ginger and sultana relish. have had a glut of tomatos this year alxl shapes and varieties. Added home grown chillies and extra cumin and ginger and the result is spectacular. . . . . . .cant wait for christmas and cold turkey and bubble and squeak. But also cant wait for a ham,sausage,or chicken sandwich to add relish to.

Having the same dilemma here (Ontario, Canada) — what to do with a glut of tomatoes ripening at the same time and more ready soon in my small vegetable garden, also over-planted with a few varieties — tasty gold coloured, cherry-size Sweet Gold, and large Lemon Boy, and red plum Roma VF, cherry-size Tiny Tim, and large Early Girl. Your recipes are so appreciated! The Tomato, Ginger and Sultana Chutney sounds delicious! I will be making it and the Tomato Sauce and Semi-dried Tomato recipes with my harvest! Thank you!

Its definitely that time of year! Here in Provence, they’re practically giving away the tomatoes in the market, I made a delicious spicy salsa with mine, great with barbecue lamb and couscous for those last sunny days……

What a wonderful blog, which i cam across searching tom chutney recipes, via google.

I have made 6 jars of the chutney and 8 of the sauce, and currently have 4 racks of toms, drying in the oven.

a total of 10kg of plum toms (roma) with still some green ones on the vines.

I usually make my toms to make tins of chopped or whole plum toms, and freeze them, bbut as we are moving shortly, i wanted other methods of keeping my tomatoes.

And Margaret has come up trumps.

THank you.

Hi
I’m going to have a bash at the tomato sauce – it looks great and I’ve got 1.5kg of ripe toms from my growbag!

Do I need proper preserving jars or will old jam jars etc do – as long as I’ve sterilised them?

Thanks.

Is it essential to pass the sauce through a sieve. I always leave the skins in sauces I make and use immediately.

Thank you.

Hi, really want to make this sauce but I don’t have a food mill.
Will a colander do the job?

HI Gill,

Yes it will, if you push the sauce through using a plastic scraper/ spoon.
Happy Cooking
