Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams ripe tomatoes
- 400 grams granulated sugar
- 60 ml lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 ml water
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut a small X on the bottom of each tomato using a sharp knife.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the tomatoes to the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them immediately to a bowl of ice water.
Peel the skins off the tomatoes (they should come off easily). Remove the cores and roughly chop the tomatoes into small pieces.
Place the chopped tomatoes in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add the sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, vanilla extract, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.
Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, crush the softened tomatoes into smaller pieces as desired while cooking. This will help create a smooth and spreadable texture.
Once the jam has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Taste and adjust sweetness or spices if needed.
Using sterilized jars, ladle the warm jam into jars, leaving a bit of space at the top. Seal tightly and let the jam cool completely before storing.
Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or process the jars in a hot water bath if you want to preserve them longer.
