Best 4 Sweet Tomato Relish Recipes

SWEET TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, apples, onions, sugar, vinegar, and pickling spice bundle in a large pot; bring to a boil and cook together about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the tomato mixture into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 40 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE, PEPPER AND ONION QUESADILLA WITH SWEET 100 TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high. Grill the sausages until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove, let rest for 5 minutes and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay 8 of the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the cheeses, sausage, onion peppers, garlic and parsley among them. Stack to make 4 and top with the remaining 4 tortillas. Brush the tops with the olive oil and grill for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Brush with more oil, turn over and continue grilling until golden brown and the cheese melts. Remove the quesadilla, quarter and top with the relish.
• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.

SWEET CORN FLANS WITH TOMATO-CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Make flans:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cook corn in a pot of boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool.
• Cut off kernels with a sharp knife into a bowl, scraping ears. Reserve 3/4 cup for relish and purée remainder in a blender with milk until smooth. Force corn purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding skins.
• Whisk together eggs, salt, and cayenne until blended and whisk in corn purée.
• Pour flan mixture into lightly oiled ramekins and bake in a hot-water bath just until set, about 40 minutes.
• Remove ramekins from water bath and cool on a rack. Chill until cold, about 2 hours.
• Make relish:
• Stir together corn, tomatoes, onion, and basil. Stir in oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
• Run a thin knife around edge of each flan, then invert flans onto plates. Spoon relish over them.

SWEET TOMATO RELISH, CANNING

Steps:

• Get a big pot, really big, 10 quarts or bigger.
• Mix ingredients together and simmer uncovered on low.
• The tomatoes will break down on their own, but you can use a potato masher and/or immersion blender if a very smooth relish is desired.
• Stir often, it can burn on the bottom. Stir with a spatula to help prevent sticking and burning.
• Reduce until it reaches the consistency of applesauce. It will turn a nice dark red and be somewhat translucent. The recipe said 2-3 hours, I cooked it for 6.
• To preserve, ladle relish in to prepared, hot jars leaving at least 1/4 inch head space.
• Process in boiling water bath for 20 minute (adjust for altitude).
