relish the tomatoes

I halved the recipe and am certainly glad I did!

Tasty Tomatoes

Add onions

Lots of salt to draw out the moisture and add flavour

Letting it stew

With brown vinegar

Boiling away

Finished product. They look a bit wonky - I should have put them on a sturdy coaster

hot mustard

I found a recipe for a really hot mustard and it appealed to Chris as it has beer in it! Personally, I much prefer wholegrain mustard

Grinding the celery seeds

Thickening

Second hand jar, brand new contents

 Chris said its got some kick but seems to be enjoying it. I'll put a nice label on it tomorrow to finish it off

gatherings

Unfortunately the caterpillar got there before I did but that was some of the best, actually probably the best, rocket I have had

And there is some basil and rosemary too. Yes, basil has flowered...
