Equipment

  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 kg tomatoes
  • 2 onions
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cups white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar

Instructions

  • Tomatoes should be peeled and boiled for two minutes. Drain and allow to cool a bit. The skins should now be readily peeled off and split. If not split, apply some pressure or scratch the skin lightly, and it should come out without much effort. Cherry tomatoes should easily burst out of their skin when using them by exerting slight pressure at the tomato's base (see video).
  • Place chopped tomatoes and onions in a tray. Add the salt, then cover with a fresh tea towel. Overnight leave outside (at room temperature).
  • The following day, drain the liquid and add the tomatoes, onion, sugar, and vinegar to a pot.
  • The sugar must be heated while stirring over medium heat. Stirring once or twice throughout the 10 minutes of boiling, bring to a boil. Use a spoon to remove any foam that develops on the surface.
  • To produce a paste, combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add to the pot and well mix.
  • Continue to boil for a further 20 minutes (about), stirring occasionally to break up the tomatoes and prevent the mixture from burning on the bottom of the pan. A jam-like consistency should develop in the mixture as it thickens.
  • Pour the mixture into sterile jars and let them cool. Store for up to six months in the refrigerator.
