HOW DO YOU MAKE TOMATO JAM RECIPES

Steps:

• The first thing you must do before preparing tomato jam is peel and chop all the tomatoes. If you find peeling the tomatoes difficult, we recommend that you were a cross in the base, put them in water to boil for a few seconds. Now it's sure you will not have any trouble removing the skin.
• Once peeled and sliced, weigh the tomatoes to balance the amount of sugar. To make tomato jam you need to calculate the sugar depending on the weight of the tomatoes. For every kilo of tomatoes you will need half a kilo of sugar. So, if you now have 450g tomatoes, you will need 225g of sugar.
• Add the chopped tomatoes, sugar and lemon juice to a pan and leave for 2 or 3 hours. Thus all the ingredients will begin to mix and will dissolve easier over the heat. With this jam you can make different and original tomato desserts, or prepare cracker snacks using a different jam to the fruit jam you normally use.
• Once the two to three hours has passed, put the pan to simmer and stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon or other utensil, until it forms a consistent homogeneous mass. Check the thickness by letting a few drops fall, if it is still liquid it needs more time, if instead the drops fall slowly and stick together the tomato jam is ready. It needs approximately 45 minutes.
• Take the jam off the heat a few minutes before it reaches the appropriate thickness as it will become more compact and consistent as it cools. To check the thickness of the jam, take a tablespoon of jam and place it in the fridge. Once it cools, you will know its consistency. Put the tomato jam in sterilized airtight jars so it does not spoil and keeps until you need it. You see, making tomato jam is very simple and does not require difficult or expensive to find ingredients. Test this recipe and make desserts prepared with tomato, snacks or different breakfasts.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a heavy medium saucepan, Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
• Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture has consistency of thick jam, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, then cool and refrigerate until ready to use; this will keep at least a week.
