Recipe's preparation

Place onions and apples into the thermomix bowl and blend on speed 6 for 3 seconds.

Remove and place into a large bowl.

Place tomatoes into the thermomix bowl and blend on speed 6 for 5 seconds.

Remove and place into the large bowl where the onions and apples are.

Weigh in/add all remaining ingredients. Then place into the large bowl and rougly stir.

Place as much as you can back into the Thermomix bowl. I find all of it doesn't fit so I put in about 1/2 or 2/3. This is to let is reduce down a bit before you add the rest.

Cook at 100 degrees, speed 3, 30 minutes. Do not use the measuring cup but instead place paper towel over the bowl and put the basket on top.

After 30 minutes scrape down sides and add the remaining mixture from the large bowl.

Cook again at 100 degrees, speed 3 for 30 minutes. Again use the basket instead of measuring cup.

Scrape down sides and cook again at 100 degrees, speed 3 for 30 minutes. Use your judgement here, you might need only 20 minutes to reduce it to a good thickness. Again use the basket instead of measuring cup.

Now carefully blend, increasing speed up to 7 or 8 over 30 seconds.

Carefully pour into sterilised jars. I find it makes two big jars. Seal and turn upside down until cool.

Tip

This is great at the end of summer when you have got tomatoes and apples and onions in season.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 6

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
