This Tomato Relish is tangy, sweet, slightly spicy, and PACKED with fresh flavors—everything a store-bought relish wishes it could be!

Ingredients

5 cups tomatoes (roughly chopped and seeded, $2.52*)

2 limes ($0.50)

1 Tbsp grated ginger (peeled (about 2 inches of fresh ginger) $0.15)

1 cup granulated sugar ($0.96)

½ tsp crushed red pepper ($0.05)

½ tsp ground cumin ($0.05)

⅛ tsp ground cloves ($0.03**)

½ red onion ($0.49)

Instructions

1 Zest and juice limes, dice onion, and gather chopped tomatoes, grated ginger, spices, and seasonings.

2 Combine all ingredient in a large sauce pan or skillet and stir together.

3 Simmer on medium heat, stirring every couple of minutes or so while the tomatoes and onions begin to cook down. The sugar will dissolve and everything will become nice and juicy.

4 Simmer and stir until the relish deepens in color and the juice cooks down by 1/4. When the relish becomes a thicker consistency (but still juicy, like any store-bought relish) it is done. Mine took about 30 minutes.
