• Bring the water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil in a large saucepan.

SILVERBEET (CHARD) RELISH FOR DUCK AND OTHER WHITE MEATS

Steps:

• If you are planning to store in a jar sterilize before starting.
• Mix all ingredients well in a saucepan and start cooking over medium heat until it starts to boil.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking around 30 minutes more stirring occasionally until desired consistency. You want it to continue bubbling but not boil and froth up.
• Remove from heat for 10 minutes or so to cool, transfer to jar and store in fridge. I find relish is always nicer cooled so worth doing a bit in advance even if you are preparing the same day.
