2.5 kg tomatoes (blanched, peeled and grossly chopped)
\n1 head of celery
\n6 onions, chopped (I like to mix white and red onions)
\n3 granny smith apples, peeled and chopped
\n1\/4 cup salt<\/p>\n
Mix everything together and let sit for 2 hours, then drain to remove as much liquid as possible. Once that's done, add:<\/p>\n
1 tsp mustard seeds
\n1 tsp ground black pepper<\/p>\n
Mix together 1 cup and 1 cup white vinegar in a bowl. Add just enough to fully cover the veggies. If you need some more, mix up another batch of sugar\/vinegar in a 1:1 ratio. Once the veggies are just covered, add another 3\/4 cup sugar. <\/p>\n
Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 hours, mixing regularly. Adjust sweetness\/tartness to taste while it's cooking. Once it's done, put in sterilized pots. <\/p>\n
To sterilize pots (I use jam jars, but mason jars work just as well), wash in warm soapy water, rinse with very hot water, place upside down on a baking tin and leave in a medium oven for 15 minutes. Boil lids. Fill while warm and cover promptly. Tighten lid and Bob's your uncle.<\/p>\n
PS: For a bit more of a kick, you can add one or two finely chopped chilies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
