Ingredients
- 35 oz (1 kg) fresh tomatoes
- 5–6 red chillies/chiles, stalks removed
- ⅓ cup (100 ml) plus 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2½-inch (6-cm) piece of root ginger
- 1½ cups (300 g) caster/granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 190˚C (375˚F) Gas 5. Put the tomatoes and chillies/chiles into a food processor and blitz until really finely chopped.
- Pour them into the bottom of a large, deep sheet pan. Stir in the white wine vinegar.
- Peel the ginger and chop it very finely. Stir it with the sugar into the tomato mixture and transfer the sheet pan to the oven. Cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the tomato mixture is sticky and jam-like. Add the olive oil, and give the mixture a final stir. Pour into a sterilized airtight jar, seal and cool, then store in the fridge for up to a couple of weeks.
