This relish is the perfect accompaniment to cold cuts and goes wonderfully in sandwiches with ham or lamb or beef. This is a quick and easy version using canned tomatoes, as it is very difficult to grow fresh tomatoes where I live. Read more Spiciness can be adjusted to suit using more or less chili peppers.
