Blackberry Relish
Ingredients
- 1 kg (2.25 lb) blackberries
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 15g (1/2 oz) soft brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp mustard powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 300 milliliters (1/2 pint) malt vinegar
Instructions
Wash and pick over the blackberries. Put in a pan with just enough water to cover and simmer until soft. Pass through a fine sieve leaving only the pips behind. Return the liquid to a stainless steel pan, add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for about 15 minutes. Pour into dry, hot sterile, heatproof bottles to within 2 cm (3/4 inch) of the top. Fasten the tops of the jars, allowing a little for expansion. Sterilise in a boiling water bath for 5-8 minutes.
