Quick Tomato Jam image

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.

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.
