Equipment

  • large pan
  • glass jar

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 kg / 2.2 lb large ripe tomatoes
  • 3 red apples
  • 2 brown onions
  • 150 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 4 cloves
  • 10 black peppercorns
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon all spice powder
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Cut the tomatoes in small chunks. Peel the onions and cut in dices. Peel and core the apples and cut in dices. Wrap the whole spices in a muslin cloth and crack gently with the back of a knife.
  • Add all ingredients in a wide pan and place on stove on high heat. Once it starts boiling reduce the heat to medium and let simmer away for 1 ½ hours.
  • By now the liquid should have cooked away. Remove the whole spices and mix in a food processor to a fine puree. Strain through a sieve and place back on the stove.
  • Reduce the sauce further by constantly stirring. You want it to be thick and sticky. Store in the fridge for up to 3 months.
