This is a very English recipe, so I am dedicating it to CC on reaching 5000 posts. :-* :-* :-*
This recipe is adapted from one by Andrew McConnell, published in The Gourmet Magazine., to be made in the TMX.
NEED
Place all ingredients into TMX bowl.
250mls Apple Cider Vinegar.
85g pitted prunes
125g tomato sauce
65g Brown sugar
50mls Worcestershire Sauce
4 Spring onions
3 cloves of garlic
2 Anchovy fillets, (I used tinned ones)
3 cloves
1 Tablespoon of Mustard Powder
2 teaspoons of Allspice
pinch of chilli powder.
Do
Cook 30 mins,/gentle speed/100 o. Take cap out for last 5 mins.
Mix, 30 seconds/sp 8., or until finely mixed and no lumps.
Bottle while hot into sterile jars.
Makes 500 mls/
Will keep for 6 months refrigerated.
NOTES> Taste test
Made as per recipe this would be perfect served as a spread on sandwiches, or condiment with hot or cold roast beef or pork.
To eat on hot buttered toast or crumpets, I would double the Anchovy. This is a personal taste preference as I love Anchovy .

Gentleman's Relish.
-
One hundred thank you hugs my friend. I do buy this in very expensive tins. No more . I actually have all the ingredients in the pantry. OMG
Bye Bye DH have fun while I am cooking one of your favourites.
Gert
-
Does your gorgeous gentleman DH like it Chookie? It is a pantry relish for sure Gretchen, I have everything as well apart from anchovy fillets at the moment and they aren't hard to find.
-
This sounds interesting. Might give it a go to include in a Christmas hamper
-
What would you serve it with?
-
My mum would love this, I am going to make her some tomorrow, thanks for the recipe xx
-
What would you serve it with?
Everything Amy! Well maybe not porridge.
Gert
-
At Andrew Mc Connell's Restaurant in Melb, it is served with Steak. I think it can be lightly spread on toast, a bit like Vegemite. I think this recipe is nicer than the bought one from Fortum and Masons.
-
I've never heard of this before Chookie. I think my FIL would like it.
I love that little pot you've put in it, it's just gorgeous :D
-
My mum would love this, I am going to make her some tomorrow, thanks for the recipe xx
For all the English people out there I thank you achookwoman.. I remember eating this as a child. My dad was an Anglophile having served in WWII in England and elsewhere. He loved savoury and I expect some English lasses as well and brought home many English foods into our home. My mother was Dutch /German. She taught me about pumpernikel!
Gert
-
Both my parents are from Manchester, so anything like this and my mum is in heaven ;D

Cheese. Spread it on a on a good piece of cheddar . Stick your finger in it and lick.
You know how they have chocolate body paint these days , well think Gentleman's Relish or Patum Peperium as I knew it.
achookwoman how about a blood pudding recipe?
Gert
-
The relish looks great, but I am sorry I can't accept blood pudding. :o :o
-
Gert, I think I will leave the blood Pud to you. I will help you eat it.
Katie, the little pot is the one it came in, that I bought in London.
-
I already gave the liverwurst a go. Not so,sure I could make blood pudding . But if I knew a butcher.........perhaps.
-
Have never heard of this but will try as I have every ingredient in my pantry too. DH likes relish in meat and cheese sandwiches Amy.
-
That's how I eat it or tomato relish and cheese toasted sandwich
-
sounds like something my DH would love ... and my FIL.... might add to my xmas list.
-
What a lovely recipe to have dedicated to me :-* :-*
I will make this for our neighbors birthday next month.He's a real foodie so will definitely appreciate this ;) ;D
-
Love the look of this. Being vegetarian I am not too sure about the anchovies, and I guess they would definitely make a difference to the taste - I might force myself to buy some, but then I probably wouldn't eat the relish. That's a bit of a dilemma. I will have to think about this because it sounds so tempting.
-

CC , my pleasure.
Marina, it wouldn't be the same, but I was wondering if you could sub. Black olives for the Anchovy.
I like DJ's idea of spreading on Crumpets , with scrambled eggs on top.
-
Cute pot chookie.. Sounds tasty.. Thx for the post 😊

There are already anchovies in Worcestershire Sauce . I agree with achookwoman. Salty black olives might sort of work but vegetarians
probably would not use Worcestershire Sauce either. Black cavier would work. Are fish eggs ok for vegetarians as they are not really fish yet. Umm. Don't know about that. Some vegetarians may not eat chicken but will eat the egg.

-
Thanks Kimmy and Gert, now I know what to serve it with....I wonder if SD would like it :-)) ;D
-

If he is a gentleman then it is made for him. ;D
Gert
-
I wouldn't go that far Gert LOL ;D
But he is English so maybe he had it when he was over there :-))
-
Amy, i have added a note to recipe which might help.
-
Thanks chookie :D
-
There are all sorts of 'shades' of vegetarianism, Gert, some do eat fish and chicken, some don't, some eat dairy and eggs, some don't. Although I don't eat fish I am sure I have inadvertently eaten things with anchovies mixed in (such as Worcestershire Sauce, before I started making my own). It doesn't 'upset' me unduly if this happens, however, I do prefer to avoid these things, but some vegetarians do get very stressed if they realise that they had accidentally eaten meat or fish related items.
Anyway, that is getting well off-subject. This recipe appeals to me so I might go the anchovies route and not eat the relish myself or I might try the black olive option - we'll see how the mood takes me!
-
Cuilidh you are so right. My DS and family are Hare Krishna's and they have a very interesting diet. My wonderful D-I- L can make just about anything work and bakes the most desirable cakes and muffins without eggs. I think being a vegetarian requires a lot more imagination when meal planning. Endless possibilities where as I sometimes give up and feed the man what he actually wants which is bangers and mash. ;D
Gert
-
Vegetarianism isn't that hard, just don't use meat or fish, but everything else! I know the Hare Krishna's use aesofitida (that may be not the correct spelling) instead of onions and garlic. I didn't realise that they didn't eat eggs either.
-
Yes they use a lot of asafoetida . There are various spellings but it is commonly known as Devils Dung and it is one of the worst smells I have ever encountered. I used to keep it double bagged in it's jar and in the garage and I swear I could still smell it. They are not so strict that they do not eat onions and garlic which is also a no no apparently .
Gert
-
Yes, it does have a unique aroma, doesn't it. It doesn't 'agree' with me so I never use it.
-
Katie, the little pot is the one it came in, that I bought in London.
I just "Googled" it Chookie and they seem to came in allsorts of delightful little pots like yours. Quintessentially English!
I asked my DH (who is English but has been here since here was about 6 years old) and he's had it before. I'm definitely making it for him and my FIL. Thanks Chookie for another great recipe :D
-
I am making it now and it smells wonderful. Had only 150 mls of cider vinegar so topped it up with malt. Used about 6 anchovies and more than a dash of chilli.
Heaven in a Thermothingy.
Gert
-
Gert, this sounds like a good mix.
-
Does this look right chookie?
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/20/qu2y7egy.jpg)
Didn't have any mustard powder but had some seeds I ground.
Letting it cool for a few minutes effort blitzing.
Gert
-
Chookie - you're a legend!! Thank you so much for this recipe! Making it for Christmas - and for wonderful neighbour of ours who is every inch a Gentleman!! :D
-
So pleased that so many members are finding this recipe useful.
-
This is wickedly delicious and so easy. Thank you chookie.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/20/yqeqyzug.jpg)
I am licking the bowl.
Gert
-
thanks gert, was going to say i could not find mustard powder at the shops so i bought seeds instead
-
done ;D
-
Good job uni.
Gert
-
Heavens, you girls move fast. Uni, very un Italian, let us know what you think. You can use it as you would Umami paste
-
Can't wait to try this tomorrow, love the container Chookie. Thankyou so much for the recipe.
Marie
-
Was going to make this today and then realised I didn't have any glass jars :-)) so as soon as I get one, I'm onto it, they all look delicious ladies, well done
-
i have all the ingredients NOW ??? ???....except 5 spice (SURE I HAD SOME ... GRRRR).... so do i just make it tonight with out it .... or wait ... go and get it after the school run in the morning .... but i did want to go to gym and then i am going to lunch with a friend ........ So what do you think could it do with out the 5 spice? or is it the little secret needed for the flavour
-
No hurry . Make it tomorrow. Doesn't take long.
Gert
-
sighs .... i know !!!! you are right. ..... so i will just have to go and make a whole orange cake now!!!! ... OR i could go and feul my car up and go via IGA =P :P :P :P
-
You don't need 5-spice Phatassphairy, you might be confusing this with the Allspice mentioned in the recipe.
I'm definitely making this as soon as i get hold of the prunes. Sounds delicious.
-

Thanks
Xx
-
500mls DJ, i made some yesterday ,will try it out today
-
Sounds delish and so easy to make. My mum and DH will love this one.
-
Bought some ham and cold roast pork in DJ's. Tried the Gentleman's Relish with it for Dinner, last night. AS DH said, very nice, but pretty powerful stuff, you only need a scrape.
-
That's good to know Chookie as my DH will probably smother his food in it.
Will warn him.
-
MF, my DS had some today and he added a lot to sausages. Said it was just right. He really enjoys spicy food. I guess it is a matter of taste.
-
I so wanted to make this today and then realised I didn't have a couple of things, could of kicked myself:-[
-
We like spicy food too Chookie so sounds like it will just be right.
Will make some when I get home from NZ.
Love pickles and relishes
-
Can't believe I made a lovely relish! Served this on nay nay's scones for lunch with meat and cheese side. Delicious thank you very much.
-
Well done KimmyH!
I made some too, my DH has given it the thumbs up. It made 2 jars, so I will give one jar to my FIL who In sure will love it.

-
Katiej - that looks fabulous!! A great recommendation from your DH!! :D
-
What did your DH have it on Katie?
-
I am so glad that members and DH's like this recipe, as it is quite different. Thanks for the feed back Katie and Kimmyh.
-
What did your DH have it on Katie?
Grilled cheese on toast Judy.
We weren't having lunch today, as we had a big breakfast out - but he was peckish and wanted to try it, he said it was really nice and he can't wait to try it with something like a roast meat sandwich.
-
Katie, the original recipe was with Cape Grim short ribs and mustard leaf. The ribs were simmered first for 3/4 hours and then finished off in the oven. Sounds very nice. I was able to buy some short ribs at Safeway on Sat. Bet your DH would like them. ;D
-
Yes, I'm sure my DH would love those ribs Chookie.
-
I have just put this into its jars. It is lovely. I boo booed when I was putting the tomato sauce in and put about 100 ml to much ( I was in a dream I think). I decided not to worry, it is not as thick as I imagine it should be but the taste is still lovely. I am serving it with cold meats at lunch on Tuesday and then giving everyone a jar to take home.
Thanks Chookie.
-
Cookie, I have been pleasantly surprised at how many people have liked this.
-
Chookie - this is just wonderful! I made it a couple of days ago - gave 1 jar to our neighbour who is a lovely gentleman in every sense of the word - so quite fitting :D
Thought I had all the ingredients on hand but when it came to the tomato sauce there was none around - so used tomato paste.
I'm having some right now!! Thank you so much for this - it's a firm family favourite!! :D :-* :-*
-
GF, so glad you like it. It is nice to have something a bit different at this time of the year.
-
need to make more soon.frank is not 2 keen but the kids and i are loving it
-
Never got this done, I ran out of time. It will wait for next time.
You are such an inspiration achookwoman ;D
-
Uni, glad you like it. Make frank something else. Don't want him feeling left out. !!!
-
my 19 year old nephew wants a jar to take back home when he flies out in January, he is eating all of my parents;D
-
Iam going to make some of this tomorrow for Xmas presents, have to find some jars to put it is.
-

I hope he isn't eating your parents ;D ;D ;D
-
There are probably just two so he won't get indigestion ;D

sorry ladies that didn't quite come out right;D;D, but the size of him it wouldn't be a problem, meant all of their relish
-
Just made two lovely jars of this thanks chookie it smells and tasted great.
-
Yum, I have a;ll in the pantry too
-
Jen and Obbie, glad you have made this.
-
I made this for Xmas presents, I didn't have Apple Cider Vinegar on hand so used Red Wine Vinegar , it was too strong I ended up having to tweak it with a tin of pie apples and a tin of plums that needed using it turned out really nice.
-
Had some today with yummy meatloaf.
Nearly out ........again!
Gert
-
AB, love it when people tweek a recipe. ;D
-
I made this today,\
i tweaked it :)
added sultanas
apricots
extra chilli
all I can say is yummy..DH loved it,
Thank you :)
-
Obbie, that sounds just great. Think I might try it without too much chilli.
-
I love chilli, it tasted great
-
Was just about to make another batch of this at DS's request when I found I had no mustard powder. Discovered a lot of mustard seed though - and this (http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/3479/how-to-grind-mustard-seeds-and-make-mustard) just confirmed the solution! ;)
Chookie - this is marvellous stuff! Thank you so much for the recipe!! :-*
(That was before it was finished cooking. Have just bottled it . . .OMG, it's soooo good!! At the risk of repeating myself, Chookie . .Thank you heaps for this one!! :-* :-*)
-
It sure is good. Every single person that I gave some at Christmas has remarked on it.

Glad to hear it, Cookie.
-
Chookie - you mentioned something was in The Age about this wonderful relish . . . was this it? :D
This is the link - and I've copied and pasted the relevant text below . . . .
http://www.goodfood.com.au/good-food/cook/why-rice-can-be-risky-20130309-2frx0.html
Also know as Partum Peperium, this deliciously salty blend of anchovies, butter and herbs was first made in 1828 and is still produced today by Elsenham Quality Foods in Elsenham, England. Spread it sparingly on thinly sliced dry toast and perhaps top with a fine slice of cool cucumber or something sharp such as mustard cress, watercress or a scant smear of freshly grated wasabi. It is particularly high in umami, so consider adding a little to a meaty gravy, a white sauce to pour over cauliflower cheese, blended through some creme fraiche with a little chervil spread on a cracker as a simple canape, or make a paste in a mortar and pestle with young rosemary leaves and insert into knife punctures in a shoulder of lamb before slow-roasting. It pretty well goes with every savoury food from England in the 19th century, in lesser or greater amounts according to taste.
-
GF, you are a very clever person. Thanks. I couldn't work out how to do this.
-
I've just found this and as my lovely dad is very fond of Gentleman's Relish, I will make some for him. Just a question though, please - does it freeze?
J x
-
Uni has started a comprehensive list of foods that can be frozen here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=9778.0) but I see that it's not on the list but she might not have tried it yet :)
I see Chookie says it keeps in the fridge for six months.
-
I think it would freeze, although with such a long shelf life I haven, t tried it. Thanks CC.
-
Made this delicious relish today. To keep it vegetarian, I substituted the anchovies with nutritional yeast flakes.
-
Great idea , Michele.
-
Oh I must make the gentelman's relish soon. I love that stuff. Haven't been able to contribute yet but hopefully tomorrow.
Gert
-
Just wondering how long this would last on the pantry shelf. Chookie you say it lasts 6 months in the fridge, but if I want to make it up ahead for xmas hampers, how long before xmas would be safe to make it, do you think?
-
You could make it and just keep it in the fridge. Great gift. Can't make enough if it.
Gert

Gert
I would do same as Gert.
-
I made some about a year ago and just opened the last one, as long as you sterilise the jar and it seals properly it will last for ages.
-
So I guess Aussie Brenda, that you stored yours in the pantry for that length of time. That's great, not a lot of shelf space in the fridge to keep all the xmas goodies in at that time of year.
-
Yes PP In The wardrobe actually, I use the spare room wardrobe as an extra pantry. :)

Ha AB. I have had to this also. But am gradually using up the stuff.
-
I'm trying Chookie, it is less than a year ago. :-))
-
I still have 3 year old Quince and Plum paste and all jams and bottled fruit in laundry.
