Ingredients

• 1000 grams ripe tomatoes
• 400 grams granulated sugar
• 60 ml lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 120 ml water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut a small X on the bottom of each tomato using a sharp knife.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the tomatoes to the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them immediately to a bowl of ice water.

Step 3

Peel the skins off the tomatoes (they should come off easily). Remove the cores and roughly chop the tomatoes into small pieces.

Step 4

Place the chopped tomatoes in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add the sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, vanilla extract, and water.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.

Step 7

Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, crush the softened tomatoes into smaller pieces as desired while cooking. This will help create a smooth and spreadable texture.

Step 8

Once the jam has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Taste and adjust sweetness or spices if needed.

Step 9

Using sterilized jars, ladle the warm jam into jars, leaving a bit of space at the top. Seal tightly and let the jam cool completely before storing.

Step 10

Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or process the jars in a hot water bath if you want to preserve them longer.
