Tamatar Chutney

Tamatar (or Tomato) Chutney is a great way to make use of the excess tomatoes you've grown.  Even when not canned, this chutney keeps well in the refrigerator for many weeks. 

• It is fantastic as a topping for baked brie or with a tray of cheeses. 
• It also goes well as a relish for meats such as chicken or pork. 
• When I go visiting I often bring a jar as a gift for my Host or hostess.

Step 1 Ingredients

• 1 pound tomatoes, firm & ripe
• 1 cup malt or Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 3" cinnamon stick
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 tblsp molasses
• 2 tblsp ginger root
• 1 tblsp garlic
• 8 whole cloves
• 1 fresh red or green chili pepper
• 1/4-1/2 cup fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves
• 2-4 tblsp mustard or vegetable oil (if you can get Mustard oil, use that)
• 2 tblsp mustard seeds
• 2-3 qt heavy pot
• Boiling water bath

I started making this 5-10 years ago and now when I go visiting family I make a pot of it and leave it with them for their yearly fix. we don't even can it because it tends to get consumed pretty quickly.....it's something they look forward to. When I put it out with cheese for entertaining, it goes very quickly as well. Give it a try and let me know how you like it.
