Ingredients
- 3.5 kg tomatoes, cores removed and chopped roughly
- 900g onions, peeled and chopped (about 7 medium onions)
- 900g apples, chopped (about 7 medium apples)
- 900g brown sugar
- 1L vinegar
- ½ cup Mrs Rogers Sea Salt
- 170g Mrs Rogers Pickling Spice (roughly 2 packets)
- GoodLife Glass Jars
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a large pot and stir well.
- Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly to maintain a steady simmer.
- Simmer uncovered for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning. The mixture should thicken and reduce slightly.
- Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes. Use a blender to blend until smooth, then pass the mixture through a mouli or fine sieve so you are left with a silky texture.
- While still hot, carefully pour the sauce into sterilised* GoodLife glass jars.
- Seal the jars immediately while the sauce is hot to create a vacuum seal. Allow to cool completely before storing.
