3 medium tomatoes (1 pound)
1 small onion
1/3 cup apple jelly
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
four 6-ounce mackerel or bluefish fillets with skin

Steps:

  • Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. Cut an X in blossom end of each tomato and in a saucepan of boiling water blanch 10 seconds. With a slotted spoon transfer tomatoes to ice water to stop cooking. Peel tomatoes and seed and chop. Chop onion.
  • In a 1-quart saucepan bring tomatoes, onion, jelly, vinegar, tarragon, red pepper flakes, and salt to a boil over moderately low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until thick, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool jam to room temperature. Jam keeps, covered and chilled, 1 month. Bring jam to room temperature before serving.

  • Serve each fillet topped with 2 tablespoons jam.
