    Old Fashioned Tomato Relish! (GF)

    This blog generates income via ads and this post may contain affiliate links · This blog uses cookies,. For more information see our Contact, Terms and Privacy Policy.

    This Tomato Relish recipe is full of deep, caramel flavours - a true old fashioned flavoured tomato relish that is delicious, easy to make and gluten-free!

    Gluten Free Old Fashioned Tomato Relish

    This 'Old Fashioned' Tomato Relish is not like 'shop bought' tomato sauce...This relish is thick, tangy, has a caramel flavour and is perfect on hamburgers, with crusty toasted bread and with crispy wedges.... it is really easy to make and gluten-free!

    My son grows tomatoes in his home garden and he grows them well! He grows them so well that we always have too many, even after we have given some away.

    So, together we make our famous relish(well... famous in our family anyway 😉)  

    This Tomato Relish has the taste of the 'olden days' when vegetables were homegrown, sweet and full-bodied.

    How to store the tomato relish

    The best part is that this relish can be stored in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 4 weeks...perfect for when you need to slather it on BBQ meat, top chicken or even on the side with fish!

    ...and it is gluten-free and vegetarian!!

    To share a little secret, we could even eat it straight out the jar (not that we do ...wink wink!)

    Old Fashioned Tomato Relish

     Recipe for Old Fashioned Tomato Relish - Gluten Free!

    The ingredients for the Tomato Relish are simple and includes:

    1.  2 cups of tomatoes cut into chunky pieces
    2. ½ brown onion - sliced
    3. 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
    4. 4 tablespoons of maple syrup
    5. 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
    6. Cracked black peppercorn (or ground pepper if you prefer)
    7. Fresh basil

    Tip - If you wanted your Tomato Relish to have a little bit of extra 'kick' you could add chilli or dried chilli flakes if you like it hot!

    • The Tomato Relish is easy to make and it is simply a matter of placing all the ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat and stirring to combine.
    • Then bring them to the boil, while stirring. Turn down the heat to medium heat and let the mixture simmer for about 20 mins.

    • Then reduce the heat further and simmer for another 10 mins. Make sure you stir the mixture regularly. The mixture will start to thicken. Once this happens, then remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool.
