Combine the tomatoes with 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons cider vinegar in a large pot over medium heat.

TOMATO JAM

Good tomatoes and balance are crucial. You need sugar for the kind of gooey, sticky quality we associate with jam; otherwise, all you're producing is a tomato sauce, no matter how different the flavor is from the classic. Once you add that sugar, however, you need acid, because even though tomatoes are plenty acidic, they can't counter all that sugar. I tried lemon juice, vinegar and finally lime, deciding that I liked the last best.

TOMATO JELLY



Tomato Jelly image

This was my late Mother in Law's recipe. She made this every fall and everyone couldn't wait for it. I don't know where else it originated from but I just know it's a very old recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we always did when Mom made it.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 c tomatoes--skinned and chopped up
4 c granulated sugar
a few whole cloves (very few)
1/2 lemon (sliced very thin)
1 pkg liquid fruit pectin

Steps:

  • 1. Skin and chop tomatoes and place in pot with the sugar, few cloves (like 3 or 4)and lemon slices, cooking on a medium heat about 20 minutes or so, until thickened. Watch it closely so it doesn't burn, stirring constantly.
  • 2. Fill small jars that have been sterilized with the hot jelly, wipe off the rims and apply the seals and lids. Place on counter to cool and listen for them to seal.
  • 3. I added a package of pectin because, if I remember right, it is a very thin consistency, like almost too thin and it needs to be thickened up a bit.
  • 4. Enjoy !!

  • Combine 1/4 cup sugar and pectin. Add to tomato mixture in saucepot; mix well. Add oil to reduce foaming.

Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

QUICK TOMATO JAM

I love tomato jam, but can't buy it in the UK! So the last time I went back to South Africa on holiday, I managed to get hold of this very easy and very quick tomato jam recipe.

Provided by Allan Rees-Bevan

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 1 Litre

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (410 g) cans chopped tomatoes
1 apple (peeled & grated)
80 ml chopped preserved gingerroot
60 ml lemon juice
500 ml caster sugar

Steps:

  • Mix tomatoes, apple and ginger in a large microwave-proof dish.
  • Microwave uncovered at 100% power for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in lemon juice and caster sugar and microwave at 100% for a further 40 minutes, or until jam starts setting, stirring every 10 minutes.
  • The time the jam takes to set depends on the wattage of your microwave.
  • It might be a good idea to spoon a bit onto a cold plate after 25 minutes, and see if it sets.
  • When done, spoon the hot jam into sterilized jars and seal immediately.
