I have been tomatoes crazy lately! I made a small batch of curried yellow tomato jam, then made a much bigger batch, pureed it and voila! Amazing ketchup.
Peach finale. Last of the local peaches made into lushly spiced chutney. Sublime with aged 'stinky' cheese.Try it this way, or with your choice of spices. Good base recipe.
