Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Cook the tomatoes with a little water for 10-12 minutes until they fall apart, then press through a coarse sieve.
Finely chop the raisins, almonds, garlic, ginger and chili in a food processor.
Pour the tomato purée into a pot and add the chopped mixture, sugar, vinegar and salt.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cook over low heat, stirring often, for 30-35 minutes until syrupy.
Pour it while still hot into washed, scalded jars and seal tightly.
Once cooled, store in the fridge; serve with roasts, cold cuts and cheeses.
