Method

Remove the stalks from the tomatoes and put them, with their skins still on, in a large pan with the malt vinegar. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring. Then strain, put the tomatoes in a china bowl, and throw the vinegar away.

Bring the sugar, spices, wine vinegar and salt to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and pour it over the tomatoes. Leave in the bowl for 24 hours; next day
