A schmear of this on a ham & cheese sandwich...mmmmmm! Now that's good eatin', I don't care who you are! Plan to make several different colored batches - red, black, yellow & orange. I suspect this is a good candidate for hot water bath canning, given how long it is cooked & the high acidity & sugar content.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs cherry tomatoes, rinsed and stemmed (about 4 cups)
1 1/4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup cider vinegar

  • In a 3- to 4-quart pan, combine tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar, lemon, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is reduced to 2 cups and has the consistency of thick jam, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but these preserves are amazing! The sweetness of the tomatoes is perfectly balanced by the tartness of the vinegar.

I made these preserves last summer and they were a huge hit! I used them on everything from toast to ice cream. They're also great for gifts.
