Tomato Pineapple Jam image

A soft jell, requiring about a week to fully set. It does not hold a firm shape when decanted. It is surprisingly flavorful, my children's favorite on toast, Popovers, English Muffins, or lightly spread on waffles. I usually keep mine in a spare refrigerator once the jars have sealed. This yields about 7-1/2 cups of Jam.
