Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ripe tomatoes
- 100 grams honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 100 milliliters water
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and remove the stems. Dice the tomatoes into small chunks.
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced tomatoes, water, and salt. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down.
Use a hand blender or regular blender to puree the tomato mixture until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, skip this step.
Return the puree to the saucepan and add honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 30–35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the tomato honey cool slightly.
Transfer the tomato honey to sterilized jars while still warm. Seal tightly and let cool completely at room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.
Enjoy your tomato honey as a sweet and savory complement to breads, crackers, cheeses, or even roasted meats. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
