Yield 1 1/4 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 lb tomatillo (husks removed, rinsed and roughly chopped)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup water
4 tablespoons lime juice
1 lime rind (or whole or chopped)
1 pinch salt

Steps:

Place all of the ingredients into a saucepan set over medium heat. Let them come to a simmer and stir occasionally, letting them cook until it has thickened and achieved a soft and loose jam consistency, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Don't wait until it has thickened too much, because it thickens considerably as it cools. Once it has cooled down, pour it into a container, cover tightly and refrigerate.

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.
