Ingredients

3 pounds firm ripe tomatoes, cored and diced (about 8 cups)
1 cup honey
300 grams granulated sugar (1 and 1/2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

If you plan to can the jam, prepare the jars according to the instructions here.
In a large nonreactive pot, combine ingredients, adding both vanilla seeds and pods to the pot. Simmer over medium-low heat until the mixture is very thick and jammy, about 1 and 1/2 hours. Discard vanilla pods.
If canning, spoon into hot sterilized jars and process as directed. Otherwise, let jam cool, then store in refrigerator or freezer.
