Kane's Kitchen - 26th July 2011 - Spicy Tomato Relish

A good home-made tomato relish should be an essential part of any good fridge!  It’s easy to make and also is a great gift idea.  Experiment with the ingredients used to make your own unique relish.  Stone fruits can be used for a fruity relish.
