Relish
Recipes
( Please see the sections on "Hints" and Conversion Tables
)
Sharp tangy relishes are
based on fruit and / or vegetables and usually contain vinegar and sugar, but generally
not in large enough quantities to preserve the ingredients for as long as other pickles.
Relishes must be kept in the refrigerator and will only keep for about a month. They add
zest to hot or cold meats, curries and savory snacks. Please read the section on "Hints".

1 large ( 220 g ) orange |

Chop unpeeled lemon
and orange and discard the seeds. Blend the lemon and orange until almost smooth. Combine
lemon/orange mixture, onion, undrained crushed tomatoes and remaining ingredients in a
large saucepan. Stir over heat, without boiling, until sugar is dissolved. Bring to the
boil, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 1 1/2 hours or until the
mixture is thick. Discard cinnamon sticks and star anise. Pour into hot sterilized jars
and seal when cold.
