Method

Heat the oil in a lidded heavy-based pan over a medium heat, add the shallots and season. Cook for 2 mins, then add the garlic and celery and cook for 2 mins. Stir in the allspice, coriander seeds, tomatoes and purée. Add 400ml water and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer with the lid ajar for 15-20 mins, until the tomatoes split and the liquid begins to reduce.
Pass the liquid through a sieve. This should yield about 800ml (reserve the pulp for use in soups or sauces).
Add the juice to a clean pan with the sugar, vinegar and nutmeg. Bring to the boil then reduce to a high simmer and cook for 40-45 mins, until reduced and thickened slightly. Pour into a sterilised* jar using a funnel. Once cool, seal and chill for up to 6 weeks.

Tip: You can use any tomatoes you like. If large, roughly chop before adding to the pan. Once cooked down, blitz before straining to remove the skins.
