Cherry tomato relish to perk up a meal with

Cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic and a little patience turn into something glossy, rich and ridiculously useful. It’s sweet, tangy and thick enough to pile onto toast. Call it relish, chutney, spread, or in our case, baby tomato smoor. It’s especially good with cheddar, jalapeños and a very generous grind of black pepper.
