Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh tomatoes
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dice the fresh tomatoes into small chunks. Finely chop the red onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan along with the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the relish to cook uncovered for about 30 minutes or until it thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Taste the relish and adjust the seasoning if needed, keeping in mind the low sodium aspect. If desired, add a pinch of sugar or extra black pepper to balance flavors.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and let the tomato relish cool slightly. Transfer it to a jar or airtight container.

Step 8

Refrigerate the relish for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
