There is a recipe from an 80s Ezy-sauce book that goes like this:

8kg ripe tomatoes
3kg onions
2 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons dry mustard
4 tablespoons curry powder
3kg sugar
1 bottle Ezy Sauce
1 cup flour
1 cup water

Peel tomatoes and onions. Slice and place in a large bowl. Mix in salt, cover and stand for 12 hours. Empty tomatoes, onions and salt into a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Mix mustard and curry powder together with about 1/2 cup water to make a thin paste. Stir into pan with sugar and Ezy Sauce. Boil for about 2 1/4 hours. Mix about 1/2 cup water into flour until smooth. Stir into pan contents and cook further 15 minutes. Fill, using a small jug or ladle, into hot sterilised bottles or jars, cover loosely, cool then seal. Makes approximately 7.5 litres. Serving suggestion: Ham, beef, cheese, pork or pastrami.

I will check out the salt in the other recipe when I can.

We dont peel the tomatoes any more. We just dice them. I do not have any complaints from the visitors. Use RAW sugar. Do not use Hydroponc tomatoes (too much water in Them) Mostsuccess is with Biodynamic or organic tomatoes. we still have 2 bottles of Wilds ezi-sauce when it was made by wild.s in Arrarat Vic Aust.

I have searched for that 1980s Ezy-Sauce book everywhere, till I went to the source, Cerebos, in Australia. If you email them and ask, they'll post you out a photocopy of heaps of Ezy-Sauce recipes. Yay! Email: consumer@cerebos.com.au

Can I used tinned tomatoes for the ezy sauce tomato relish? I have some homegrown tomatoes but not enough to make up 8 kgs and I would like to make the full quantity while I am at it so was wondering about using tinned tomatoes to make up the balance.
Thanks Barb

Is it OK to cook before the 12 hours of salting. What does this do?

i always use tin tomatoes, you dont have to soak them, so you can make it pretty quick. ive never had any complaints. hope this helps.

I've made tomato sauce with Ezy Sauce for more decades than I care to remember! I decided to make the chutney (relish) this year. It came out really watery, just could not get it to thicken. The smooth flour paste turned into little dumplings so I had to remove that. I ended up using cornflour. I searched the web and suddenly found a comment from an older lady (read: been preserving for decades) saying that after the salting and resting for 12 hours you should drain off the liquid! I'll definitely be doing that next time. It came out very sweet so I'd investigate altering that as well.

the salt draws liquid from the tomatoes and onions if you leave o/night & then in the morning tip off the excess liquid carefully prior to cooking, makes a thicker relish

Don't tip off the liquid you loose all your good stuff, just reduce it in the pot.................................For green tomato pickles halve the recipe but use the full bottle of easy-sauce
Linda said…
It draws the liquid out and then you can put it on the stove is my understanding.

Try mixing the relish 50/50 with mayo for a really kick-ass pasta salad dressing.
