magic, you can turn garden waste into something your family will
truly... relish!Green Tomato Relish
You will need:
3kg green tomatoes (ripe tomatoes can also be used)
1.5kg apples
1.5kg onions
1.5kg sugar
3 dessertspoons curry powder
3 tbsp mustard powder
4 tbsp flour
2 tsp ground pepper
2 litres of vinegar with extra for mixing
2 tbsp salt
To prepare:
Slice tomatoes, onions and apples and sprinkle with salt. Leave overnight. Strain in the morning.
