Ingredients
3 lbs. Fresh Tomatoes
2 C. Granulated Sugar
1/3 C. Lemon Juice
-
1/2 tsp. Ginger Powder
-
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon, Saigon Ground
-
1/4 tsp. Cloves, Ground
-
2 tsp. Sea Salt, Fine
-
1 1/2 tsp. Red Pepper Chile, Crushed
Directions
Core tomatoes and chop finely (no need to peel and remove seeds). Combine all ingredients in a large stainless steel or other non-reactive pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low.
Simmer jam for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring the mixture regularly until it is thick with jammy goodness and a sample falls off the spoon with a slow plop. Use a canning funnel to transfer jam to hot, sterile four to eight ounce jars.
A covered jar of jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to six months. For longer storage, leave about 1/2 inch of head space in the jars, then seal with a sterile lid and process in a boiling water bath as you would for other jams and jellies.
