Note

For best results, use ripe, firm tomatoes for a better texture and flavor.

If the relish appears too watery after blending, let it sit in a fine-mesh strainer for 10-15 minutes to drain excess liquid before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will intensify slightly over time.

You can adjust the heat level by adding a small amount of hot sauce or fresh chili peppers if desired.
