servings
Prep time
25 mins
Ingredients
- Onion: 500g onion
- Salt: 1 rounded tbsp salt
- Sultana: 500g sultana
- Light Muscovado Sugar: 500g light muscovado sugar
- Vinegar: 1.14 litre jar spiced pickling vinegar
- Cooking Apple: 500g cooking apple
- Green Tomato: 2 1/2 kg green tomato
Directions
- Slice the tomatoes (you can skin them if you want, but I don't usually bother). Finely chop the onions. Layer both in a large bowl with the salt. Leave overnight.
- Next day, chop the sultanas using a large, sharp knife, then peel, core and chop the apples. Put the sugar and vinegar into a large pan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the sultanas and apples and simmer for 10 mins. Strain the tomatoes and onions in a colander (but don't rinse), then tip into the pan and return to the boil.
- Simmer for about 1 hr, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and pulpy. Transfer to warmed jars (see Know-how, below) and cover with lids.
