Notes
- You can modify the amount of sugar based on the ripeness of your tomatoes. For sweeter tomatoes, reduce the sugar to your taste preference.
- If you prefer extra heat, add more chopped red chile or a pinch of cayenne pepper to give the relish a spicier kick.
- Store the tomato relish in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. For longer storage, it can also be canned and sealed for up to 3 months.
