This recipe is fantastic. Although I think the name should be changed to "Spicy Tomato Relish".<br />There is one thing wrong with it and that is that it makes such a small amount. I followed the recipe except I used whole pink pepper corns instead of black cracked pepper corns. It is spicy and rich. You can eat it as is or put it on almost anything. I had my canning supplies out so I canned two pints and I am enjoying the rest.
