Cherry Tomato Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Slowly fry the onions, garlic and spices in a little olive oil soft and translucent. Add the anchovies and cherry tomatoes (which you can blanch and remove the skins first if you like.) Shake around and add the sugar, vinegar and salt and pepper at this point. Bring to the boil, stir and simmer gently for 30 minutes before seasoning well to taste and transfer to a few small, sterilized airtight jars, rather than a large one, and seal. If unopened, the chutney will improve in flavor and last up to a year in your cupboard. Once opened, keep in your refrigerator for 1 to 2 months.;

Steps:

• Whisk vinegar and oregano in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil. Mix in green chilies and green onions. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill.) Add tomatoes; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, gently peel off the rind of both lemons, being sure to not include any of the white pithy parts. Add the lemon peels, water, sugar, and the cinnamon stick to a small pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the lemon peels are tender and slightly translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes. Strain the lemon peels, discard the cinnamon stick and reserve the liquid in a measuring cup.
• In a food processor add the cherries, lemon peels, and a tiny pinch of salt, to taste. Pulse while slowly adding the reserved liquid, about 1/4 to 1/2 cup, until the consistency of cranberry sauce or relish is achieved. Use the remaining reserved liquid to flavor iced tea, if desired. Taste and add fresh lemon juice to balance the sweetness. Spoon the relish into a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a grinder or food processor, coarsely grind tomatoes, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and onions. (You may need to do this in batches.) Line a large colander with cheesecloth, place in sink or in a large bowl, and pour in tomato mixture to drain for 1 hour.
• In a large, non-aluminum stockpot, combine tomato mixture, celery seed, mustard seed, salt, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Sterilize enough jars and lids to hold relish (12 one-pint jars, or 6 one-quart jars). Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. Fill jars all the way to top. Screw on lids.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.
• Remove jars from pot and place on cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press top of each lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Relish can be stored for up to a year.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the dried cranberries, cherries, tomatoes, cider and 3/4 cup water. Set aside for 30 minutes.
• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until they are just tender, about 3 minutes. (Do not let them brown.) Add the dried-fruit-and-cider mixture, the apple, fresh cranberries and orange zest. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Bring vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, jalapeno, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat, and let stand for 15 minutes. Strain though a fine sieve; discard solids. Let cool completely.
• Combine cucumber, radishes, tomatoes, and onion in a medium bowl. Pour in vinegar mixture, and toss to coat.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grate. Working in batches, grill chicken until cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter, and let stand for 10 minutes. Stir mint into relish. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with vinegar if desired. Spoon relish on top of chicken, and garnish with mint sprigs.
