HOMEMADE TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil, and blanch the tomatoes a few at a time, until the peels loosen (about 1 minute). Transfer immediately to an ice bath to cool, and peel carefully. Remove the cores and dice.
• Place the diced tomatoes in a large saucepan with the rest of the ingredients, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the temperature to medium, keeping a slow simmer going.
• Cook for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally and adjusting the heat as needed, until the mixture is thick and syrupy. Remove from the heat and transfer to another container to cool.
• Serve at room temperature, or store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days.

SPICY TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• Start with our step-by-step canning how-to.
• Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the lemons in wide strips, leaving the bitter white pith behind. Squeeze the lemon juice through a strainer into a large, wide saucepan. Add the lemon zest, tomatoes, sugar, cumin, 4 teaspoons salt, the red pepper flakes, cinnamon sticks, cloves and ginger. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are juicy and the sugar dissolves, 15 to 20 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are dark and syrupy and a candy or deep-fry thermometer registers 220 degrees F, 40 to 50 minutes (the timing may vary depending on the juiciness of the tomatoes). Reduce the heat if the mixture starts to scorch. Discard the cinnamon sticks.
• Meanwhile, sterilize four 8-ounce canning jars and lids.
• Fill the jars with the tomato mixture, leaving 1/4 inch headspace, then seal and process.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• The first thing you must do before preparing tomato jam is peel and chop all the tomatoes. If you find peeling the tomatoes difficult, we recommend that you were a cross in the base, put them in water to boil for a few seconds. Now it's sure you will not have any trouble removing the skin.
• Once peeled and sliced, weigh the tomatoes to balance the amount of sugar. To make tomato jam you need to calculate the sugar depending on the weight of the tomatoes. For every kilo of tomatoes you will need half a kilo of sugar. So, if you now have 450g tomatoes, you will need 225g of sugar.
• Add the chopped tomatoes, sugar and lemon juice to a pan and leave for 2 or 3 hours. Thus all the ingredients will begin to mix and will dissolve easier over the heat. With this jam you can make different and original tomato desserts, or prepare cracker snacks using a different jam to the fruit jam you normally use.
• Once the two to three hours has passed, put the pan to simmer and stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon or other utensil, until it forms a consistent homogeneous mass. Check the thickness by letting a few drops fall, if it is still liquid it needs more time, if instead the drops fall slowly and stick together the tomato jam is ready. It needs approximately 45 minutes.
• Take the jam off the heat a few minutes before it reaches the appropriate thickness as it will become more compact and consistent as it cools. To check the thickness of the jam, take a tablespoon of jam and place it in the fridge. Once it cools, you will know its consistency. Put the tomato jam in sterilized airtight jars so it does not spoil and keeps until you need it. You see, making tomato jam is very simple and does not require difficult or expensive to find ingredients. Test this recipe and make desserts prepared with tomato, snacks or different breakfasts.

TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• Mix tomatoes and sugar in a large wide shallow pot. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, occasionally stirring gently. Boil, stirring often, for 15 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until thickened and reduced to 2 cups, about 10 minutes. Ladle into a clean, hot 1-pint jar. Wipe rim, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Using a paring knife, cut out the stem end of each tomato, then slice a shallow X in the bottom.
• Plunge the tomatoes into the boiling water until their skins loosen, about 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and let cool. When cool enough to handle, slip off their skins. Discard the water, but save the saucepan for cooking the jam.
• Halve the tomatoes at their equator and gently squeeze out the seeds and juice. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch (1.5-cm) pieces.
• Return the tomatoes to the saucepan and stir in the sugar, pepper, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to ensure that the mixture is cooking evenly, until most of the liquid has cooked off. If foam occasionally rises to the top, skim it off with a large spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
• Ladle the jam into clean jars. Cover tightly, let cool, and refrigerate.
• Storage:
• The jam will keep for at least 6 months in the refrigerator.

• When the jam has cooked down sufficiently, remove from heat and fill jars, leaving 1/4 inch of head space. Wipe rims, apply lids and twist on rings. Process in a boiling water canner for 20 minutes.
• When time is up, remove jars from water bath and allow them to cool. When jars are cool enough to handle, test seals. Store jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year.

• Cover with a lid, but leave off-set to allow the moisture to evaporate. Stir periodically to prevent sticking.

SUMMER TOMATO JAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and core the tomatoes. Cut off any bad spots and discard.
• Place the tomatoes in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, and add the sugar, vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
• Cook over medium heat. As the tomatoes soften, break them down with the back of a wooden spoon.
• Once the tomatoes are very soft and smooshy, run all of them through a food mill with the medium disc to get out most of the seeds and all of the tomato skins. Be sure to scrape down the underside of the food mill. You don't want to miss any of the goodness.
• Return the tomato pulp (which will be very soupy) to the pan.
• Add the pepper flake, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the jam is much reduced and very thick. When you run your spatula along the bottom of the pan, you should be able to see the bottom of the pan for a couple of seconds before the jam runs back.
• Pour into a very clean pint jar. The jam most likely will not fill the jar, just so you know.
• Cool and then refrigerate. Use within 3 weeks.
