I'm so loving the holidays!! This time, I didn't have to rush and pack all the winter gear to head back to Japan and instead, I have got time to wrap Christmas presents, to send all the presents overseas, write and post Christmas cards, etc etc. On top of that, I found a box full of tomatoes (about 6kgs roughly) for $2 and I couldn't resist taking that box home.....!! So, I decided to make lots of tomato chutney.
I followed this recipe and am pretty happy with the result:) The rest of the tomatoes became a very flavoursome tomato sauce. I eat tomato sauce-based pasta at least once a week so this will definitely be handy. (I've already eaten the sauce twice in the last 2 days!)
At the same shop, I also found a bag of chillies that looked so good for chilli jam so as well as HEAPS of garlic and ginger, I took them home as well. This time, I opted for the chill jam recipe of Annabel Langbein and it was super easy!
It made me feel really good about getting rid of ALL the tomatoes but honestly, I was so glad that I didn't have to do this for living..... Chopping 10 onions and half a bag of ginger, chillies and garlic was a bit much!!!
