Steps:
- Start with our step-by-step canning how-to.
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the lemons in wide strips, leaving the bitter white pith behind. Squeeze the lemon juice through a strainer into a large, wide saucepan. Add the lemon zest, tomatoes, sugar, cumin, 4 teaspoons salt, the red pepper flakes, cinnamon sticks, cloves and ginger. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are juicy and the sugar dissolves, 15 to 20 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are dark and syrupy and a candy or deep-fry thermometer registers 220 degrees F, 40 to 50 minutes (the timing may vary depending on the juiciness of the tomatoes). Reduce the heat if the mixture starts to scorch. Discard the cinnamon sticks.
- Meanwhile, sterilize four 8-ounce canning jars and lids.
- Fill the jars with the tomato mixture, leaving 1/4 inch headspace, then seal and process.
SPICY SWEET CHERRY TOMATO JAM
It is late summer, and I am overrun with tomatoes of all kinds. Big, little, roma, cherry, red, rose, yellow, purple, you name it. This is a quick way to use up some of those delicious cherry tomatoes that are too watery to can.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium size pot. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until sticky and thickened.
- Allow to cool, slightly. You can use them this way or break them down further in your food processor or with an immersion blender.
- Great in place of barbecue sauce, pizza sauce, and pasta sauce. Fantastic with cream cheese on crackers.
- Serving size depends on your chosen use. I've counted it as if using as tomato sauce on a pizza. This recipe makes enough for 2 medium pizzas.

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.

Steps:
- Place the tomatoes in a large pot and pour the boiling water over the tomatoes; allow to sit 5 minutes. Remove tomatoes from boiling water and place in ice-cold water until cool enough to handle. Slip off skins and stems.
- Coarsely chop the tomatoes in a food processor; reserve any juices and add to chopped tomatoes.
- Combine vinegar, apple juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, mustard, allspice, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a large non-reactive pan over medium heat; cook and stir until sugar dissolves completely; stir in the chopped tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until liquid has reduced by half, 30 to 45 minutes. Add the lemon slices and cook another 15 minutes.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 30 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
