I have just finished smothering a bread roll in this spicy relish and devouring it, and believe me, it really does make the sandwich complete! I tested & retested this recipe countless number of times so I have updated lot of tips for better shelf-life. To properly seal the jars, place the chutney into the jars whilst still hot. Close the lids and turn the jars upside down to seal as the chutney cools. Store the sealed jars of chutney in a cool place in your pantry for up to two years. Once opened, store the chutney in the fridge for up to four weeks. This old fashioned green tomato chutney comes from such a special recipe. It was shared with me by my husband’s beautiful aunty Carolyn, handed down from her mother. The recipe is at least 60 years old, possibly even older. I knew this as soon as I received it- written in beautiful handwriting and with the (Australian) measurements still in pounds and ounces! The taste has definitely stood the test of time and I feel so honoured to be sharing it here. I started with dill, of course, and added fennel (both bulb and seed), mustard seed and marjoram, plus a few other herbs and spices to create a completely unique and delicious batch. Can you eat unripe green tomatoes?This old fashioned green tomato chutney (relish) is the perfect use for unripe tomatoes at the end of the season. It is glossy, beautifully sweet and savoury and has such a robust flavour. Perfect for biscuits, cheese, sandwiches and cold meats. It is also really good in burgers and steak sandwiches! There’s a drain spout on the side so you don’t have to lift a huge, heavy pot to pour it out, but this spout is also great for dispensing drinks. You can sterilise any old jar, as long as the seals in the lid are intact. Sterilising is important if you want your chutney to last and not be contaminated. It can be done with a sterilising solution, such as Milton’s, or in the oven. It is best served with plain steamed rice, pulaos, biriyanis, parathas, and roti and thus becomes an integral part of our daily meal. Boil a jug of hot water and pour over the green tomato mixture and drain again. Do this twice to remove all the salt.

Yes, green tomatoes are edible, even raw! They’re very astringent, very firm, and not particularly tasty, which is why fried green tomato recipes are so popular. Turn off the heat and add the paste slowly to the tomato mixture while stirring. Avoid lumps by adding the paste slowly and continuing to stir. In a small saucepan, bring all of the brine ingredients to a boil and stir until the salt is dissolved. Remove the brine from heat.

How to select green tomatoes for green tomato pickles

Green chilies: The fresher the chillies the better for this recipe! Select unbruised, ripe chilies with a deep green color. I normally go for medium-hot green chilies but, you can use hot or mild chilies depending on your preference. In addition, make sure the chilies are completely dry before adding them to the jar. You’re not likely to find unripe green tomatoes at the store, but, if you don’t grow your own tomatoes, no worries. Put the green tomatoes on the stove and add 450ml of white vinegar. Bring the mixture to the boil cover and then cook for ten minutes using a timer. Though I have tried so many recipes, this recipe is special to me as it is very flavorful & easy to make. This can be made with any kind of raw sour green mangoes and can be consumed after 3 days of preparing it. Jar: For the best results make sure that the jar is clean and dry before adding the ingredients. Doing so will prevent contamination.

Simply pour the hot brine over the tomatoes and spices, let the jar cool at room temperature, and store in the fridge.

Place beans, onions and sugar in pan with rest of vinegar and boil for 15 minutes then mix the mustard, turmeric, salt and cornflour with a little cold water and add to the pan. To sterilise your jar, simply boil it with the lid and any utensils you’re going to use to fill the jar, for 15 minutes, making sure not to use any unsterile items until after you’ve sealed the jar. There are so many traditional recipes that I remember my grandparents making when I was small. A lot of recipes like jams and relishes were used to ensure there wouldn’t be wastage when there was a huge crop of cucumbers, or the tomatoes weren’t ripening.
