An easy to make and totally yummy tomato sauce. Save (or ask your neighbours for) glass bottles from cordial, dressings etc, and their lids, for bottling this.
Usually made from ripe red tomatoes, one year I had lots of green tomatoes I needed to pick as well - I made one batch with red and one batch with green, and then combined them. The result was yummy!

| Ingredients: 6kg ripe red tomatoes 4 apples (skin on but cores removed) 2 onions 2 TBSP allspice 2 cloves garlic (crushed) 750g white sugar (or substitute about 2 1/2 cups honey) 1/4 cup salt 1 litre malt vinegar |  |
| Method: Wash and chop tomatoes and apples. Chop onions. Place in a large stock pot. Tie allspice and garlic in a muslin bag. Boil all ingredients together slowly for two hours, stirring frequently. Cool, discard muslin bag, and process in batches through a foodmill or food processor. Return to pot, bring back to boil, and if desired simmer a bit longer to thicken further. Bottle into hot, sterilised bottles* * To sterilise bottles, wash, rinse, then place in cold oven, turn heat to 100C and maintain for at least 30 mins - keep them hot after that until ready to fill. Boil clean metal lids in a pot of water for 5 mins. Can also use Agee jars etc. |   |
