Ingredients

Step 1:

  • 1 ½ kg heirloom tomatoes roughly chopped
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 2 allspice berries
  • 2 cloves
  • ½ cinnamon stick
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 pinch ground chilli

Step 2:

  • cup brown sugar
  • cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Place all the step 1 ingredients into a large stockpot and simmer slowly for about 45 mins or until ⅓ of the juices have been evaporated. Stir frequently whilst cooking.
  • Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool.
  • Once cooled place the tomato mixture in a food processor or blender and blend on HIGH for about 1 minute
  • Strain the blended mixture through a sieve and into a sauce pan, making sure you have extracted as much juice as possible from the pulp.
  • Place the saucepan on a medium heat and add the step 2 ingredients and allow to simmer for about 10-15 mins. (if you prefer a thinner consistency do this step for 5 minutes)
  • Once cooked store in a sterilised jar for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator
