Ingredients

2 medium Onions Roughly chopped

3 large Garlic cloves Roughly chopped

2 large Red bell pepper Roughly chopped

1 large Red chile Deseeded & chopped

1 kg Tomatoes Chopped

2 cups White wine vinegar

1 1/2 cups Brown sugar Firmly packed

2 teaspoons Sweet smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon Salt

2 each Bay leaves

1 each Cinnamon stick Whole

2 each Star anise Whole

12 each peppercorns Whole

12 each Cloves Whole


Directions

Tie bay leaves, cinnamon stick, star anise, peppercorns and cloves into a muslin bag using kitchen string to secure. Place chopped red bell pepper, onions, garlic and chilli in a food processor and pulse until finally chopped. Put the vegetables, tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, paprika, salt and the muslin bag into a heavy-based large pot. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring to ensure all the sugar is dissolved. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the relish is thick and pulpy, stirring occasionally. Remove the spice bag and squeeze well to release the spicy juices. Ladle the relish into the hot sterile jars, wipe the jar tops with a very clean cloth and then put the lids on. Label and keep in a cool dark place. Will keep for about six months.
