Ive swapped the vinegar to white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar & it works just fine! I dont add cornflour to any of our recipies (as my daughter is Alergic to Gluten & Maize & thickeners in 1400s range) I just keep it on a lower simmer untill it gets to the right consistancy. Hope this helps!! G Hi All,

Understand what you mean about flour/cornflour or even arrowroot for thickening relish. I expect if you simmered it slowly, uncovered, then a lot of the liquid would evaporate and you wouldn't require any thickening agent. I found this recipe for roasted tomato relish: http://nz.lifestyle.yahoo.com/better-homes-gardens/recipes/recipe/-/5348592/roasted-tomato-relish/ and here is a very simple one which you simply simmer until the relish reaches the required thickness: http://www.garden-nz.co.nz/grow-your-own/fresh-from-the-kitchen/tomato-relish-recipe.html I wonder if the addition of cornflour was just a way to speed up the process for the busy housewives! let us know how you get on.

There was never a hint of cornflur or flour in her recipes. They were always thick and delicious. Is it really necessary to add cornflour to this recipe or any relish recipe for that matter. Could you not get around this dilemna(for me anyway) by cooking ingredients longer. Don't want to sound like a whinger but cornflour or flour in relish or chutney just doesnt sit well with me.... any suggestions would be greatly received...I would really like to try this recipe it sounds devine (excuse the pun) I remember making relishes and chtneys and all manner of preserves with my nana many years ago.
