Tomato Peach Chutney

Always losing this recipe.
Just posting it here so I know where to find it.

Tomato Chilli Pickles

Our 2 tomato plants produced thousands of kilograms of fruit this season!
(Black Russian & Green Zebra).
As I write this, one week out from the beginning of winter, I have just
plucked the last tomatoes from the vine and it's STILL making flowers!
Psycho tomato.

Another Sally Wise recipe.
She's a pretty potent brew!
In the whizzer is a mix of garlic, ginger and mustard seeds.
It dissolved the little smelling hairs in my nose!

As an afternoon snack, I am a bit partial to cheese and bickies.
You can keep your fancy schmancy water crackers and stinky smelly cheeses,
give me good old Jatz crackers and cheddar cheese and some pickles and I'm happy.
I remember as a kid in the 70's when Mum and Dad had people drop by for drinks in the afternoon,
Mum always made a plate of Jatz and cheese and cocktail onions
- sometimes we even had the green cocktail onions - fancy.
Oh yeah - and stuffed pimento olives.
I can't buy Jatz down here in Victoria.
I can only get Savoys or Ritz (errr - shudder).
Anyway.....
these pickles are superb on my cheese and bickies.

Tomato Chutney

Lots of tomatoes in the garden in March.
Lots of recipes around for Tomato Chutney.
I chose this one from Sally Wise's book.



I had 2 kinds of tomatoes in the garden in 2011.
Black Russian.
Green Zebra.
The BR is a sweeter tomato and the GR is tangy -
so I went 2/3 to 1/3.
And I wasn't quite sure which apple would be the best cooking apple,
so I went 1 Granny Smith and 1 Golden Delicious (also from our own garden).




It was pretty easy to make - just chop it all out, shove it in a pot and boil it for 1 1/2 hours.
That's it.



You can eat this one straight away - you don't have to wait and let it cure.
It tastes pretty good.
I like to eat it on home-made hamburgers and steak sandwiches.
