Put some extras in such as good pinch of saffron and some mixed spices and chopped tomatoes with white, malt and balsamic vinegar. A bit extra brown sugar.. tastes delicious thanks.

Just making it now. I didnt have any currants so i am using cranberries. I think it will be very nice with blue castello cheese on a porterhouse steak 😀

Hi Kelly, red onions are sweeter than brown onions, but it will still be delicious!

We pulled our beetroot today and I made your relish. We live at Lake Mahinerangi so a quick trip to Lawrence 4 Square for allspice and currants. It's on the stove in the last stages - I can't stop trying it. It's gorgeous - thank you. If you ever get this way -call in I'mm make YOU something! Yvonne
