This is an old CWA recipe. Have a look at the page where the recipe is! You can see how it’s yellowed and has relish stains from the years of making Tomato Relish.
The book is 42 years old, having been a gift the year that I married The Grumpy One.
Here’s how I make it using my Thermomix to chop the tomatoes and onions. You will need to start the night before.
