Tomato Relish

With this upcomingNational Braai Day in September and with Spring time around the corner hopefully, I share this tomato relish recipe with everyone. It is perfect for a hot dog braai. If you like tomato type sauces, try the Tomato and Chilli Sauce with a piece of Braai steak, it is absolutely delicious This tomato relish recipe is our family recipe and has been in my maiden name family since I can remember. So this recipe I dedicate to our Wright Family. My mom used to make this recipe in bulk, do the sterilization process of the jars and bottle them. She kept the bottles in a separate space in the pantry with all the apricot jams, figs in syrup,quinces and all the preserve type bottles she made. This she used as presents for people or to be useful with our household food menu's.We used to enjoy this lovely tomato relish with pap, boerewors, boerewors rolls, meatballs on pasta, etc. This recipe is in bulk, so you will be making it once, but you will be able to enjoy it for a longer period with just the effort of heating it. If you don't have any jars you can just take freezer bags, fill it up, let it cool and freeze them in the packets. You can just through each packet away after taking the relish out. It depends of course of how much time you have available or can spare to make this recipe. So when it is tomato season, grab that box and make your relish for your pantry.
